F-16 TDPU

The F-16 has seen an major increase in capabilities in the Mid Life Update program. This program will continue with regular software updates to stay compatible with new weapons and radar technology. On of the most important changes is Link 16 communication. With Link 16 aircraft can change information online during flight. If you go to battle, you want to see the whole picture. You need Link 16!

Florennes hosted the TDPU (Tactical Discussion and Procdures Update) to test Link 16 and MLU softwareversion M4. Several Link16 capable units were invited by 350 squadron for a one week flying period. On July 14th a spotters' day was organised.
