Following its delivery in 2011, the P5CTS, using GPS-enabled airborne instrumentation pods capable of tracking and recording weapons engagements, will provide the air force’s F-16 pilots the flexibility to carry out, anywhere, anytime training capability.
The P5CTS can monitor in real time from a ground station, and is equipped with the individual combat aircrew display system, an advanced debriefing system.
Powered by a single engine, either a General Electric F110-GE-129 or a Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229, the F-16 multirole fighter aircraft carries the Lockheed’s LANTIRN infrared navigation and targeting system.
The F-16 aircraft has nine hardpoints for weapons payloads, one at each wing tip, three under each wing and one centreline under the fuselage.
