The AN/APG-66 was designed by Westinghouse for the Lockheed Martin (General Dynamics) F-16 Fighting Falcon. The AN/APG-66 radar is a solid state medium range (up to 150 km) Pulse-doppler radar designed by Westinghouse (now Northrop Grumman) for use in the F-16 Fighting Falcon. The AN/APG-66 has been succeeded by the AN/APG-68. A total production run of 2,936 radar sets is forecast for the latter.
AN/APG-66
Designed for F-16A/B. Aside from official DoD designations, following company designations were used: AN/APG-66H (installed on BAE Hawk 200 aircraft, smaller antenna, giving slightly reduced capabilities), AN/APG-66J (configured for the Japanese F-4EJ upgrade program), AN/APG-66NT (installed on Navy T-39N aircraft), AN/APG-66NZ (installed under the Project KAHU on New Zealands A-4 Skyhawk aircraft), AN/APG-66SR, AN/APG-66SS and AN/APG-66T (multi-target track while scan variant).
AN/APG-66(V)1
Developed for the F-16 Air Defence Fighter (ADF), modified to improve small target detection and to provide the continous wave illumination needed by the Sparrow missile. Standard air-to-air modes are look up, look down, search and track, track while scan, automatic tracking, and air combat search.
AN/APG-66(V)2
The AN/APG-66(V)2A Fire Control Radar (FCR) is an improved AN/APG-66, developed for the F-16 Mid-Life Update. It is equipped with an improved processor, faster phase shifters, increased bulk memory, and a more powerful transmitter. New features are a ten-target track-while-scan possibility as well as a six-shot AMRAAM mode, which allows six targets to be fired at simultaneously and a two-target Situational Awareness Mode. Other features include 25% improved detection and tracking range (compared to Block-10 and -15), enhanced 64:1 Doppler Beam Sharpening mode (DBS), enhanced air-ground and ground mapping modes, improved ECCM, improved false alarm rate, color display compatibility, and mux bus OFP loading. The radar system is operated by 1553 mux bus control -- the current control panel has disappeared. All APG-68(V)5 modes have been incorporated. The F-16A/B Digital Signal Processor (DSP) and Radar Computer (RC) of the original APG-66 radar system have been replaced by a single Signal Data Processor with 6 times more processing power, resulting in 18% less weight, 16% less volume, 14% less dissipated power, and 19% less cooling air. The number of circuit boards has been reduced from 45 to 14. Both the Low Power Radio Frequency (LPRF) unit and the transmitter units have been modified.
AN/APG-66(V)3
Downgraded AN/APG-66(V)2 with CW illumination capability to guide AIM-7F Sparrow Sparrow missiles. Developed for Taiwan.
AN/APG-68
The AN/APG-68 is an advanced pulse-Doppler radar with increased range, more modes and better resolution compared to the AN/APG-66 radar. AN/APG-68 exclusive modes include medium resolution mapping, ground target MTI, and ground moving, target track in air-to-ground mode, and track-while scan, ground moving, target rejection, velocity search and medium PRF up-look in air-to-air mode. Development of the AN/APG-68(V) began in 1980 as part of a USAF effort to incorporate new computer processing technologies into the F-16, as well as to adapt it to carry the AIM-120 AMRAAM missile. The first radar was delivered in 1984, with the first F-16C Block 25) with the APG-68 completed in July 1984. The program suffered some production delays due to problems with software integration. In 1986, Westinghouse came under fire for deficiencies in the APG-68, leading the USAF to withhold payments. These problems were largely resolved by 1987.
AN/APG-68(V)1
This variant was developed in response to a 1987 Congressional decision to reduce costs on the Block 40 F-16C/D. The (V)1 uses an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) instead of the initial block-oriented random-access memory (BORAM).
AN/APG-68(V)2
Export version of the baseline AN/APG-68. Total of 833 AN/APG-68(V)2 -(V)3 sets ordered by Bahrain, Egypt, Greece, Israel, Singapore, South Korea and Turkey.
AN/APG-68(V)3
Export version of the baseline AN/APG-68, with with improved reliability and signal processing capabilities and more modes.
AN/APG-68(V)4
No specs available. Installed in Block 40 aircraft.
AN/APG-68(V)5
Baseline model for US Air Force's F-16 Block 50 aircraft. In 1989, the Air Force funded the Three Digit Radar effort, which aimed to push the mean-time-betweenmaintenance-actions to a level of over 100 hours, with goals of raising the base level of 40 hours to 80 hours by February 1989. Includes enhanced processing with a VHSIC PSP, improved programmable display generator, and an improved data modem. The VHSIC features were developed as part of the US Air Force's VHSIC Programmable Signal Processor (VPSP) program. These features were adopted in the AN/APG-68(V)5 for the F-16C/D Block 50 aircraft, with production beginning in late 1991. Total AN/APG-68(V1) and -(V)5 production: 1,444 sets.
AN/APG-68(V)7
Introduced in the F-16C/D Block 50/52 with slightly increased range. Aimed at export versions, this version adds exciter, receiver and processor upgrades to reduce costs and improve reliability. Total of 40 sets ordered by South Korea (20) and Singapore (20).
AN/APG-68(V)8
Export verion, based on AN/APG-68(V)7. Ordered by Egypt and Greece.
AN/APG-68(V)9
The AN/APG-68(V)9 is the latest development of the AN/APG-68 radar family featuring 33% improvement in air-to-air detection range, reduced ownership costs and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mode. SAR enables high-resolution ground mapping for 24-hour, all-weather precision strike capability. In August 2004, the US Air Force awarded Northrop-Grumman a two-year $22 million contract to develop a radar replacement kit applicable for approximately 280 USAF's F-16C/D fighter aircraft. The new upgrade kit will provide the (V)9 enhancements to current F-16C/D aircraft. Ordered by Chile, Greece, Israel, Oman, Pakistan, Poland and Turkey. Production forecast: 430 sets.
AN/APG-68(V)10
Designation for AN/APG-68(V)5 to AN/APG-68(V)9 conversion kit. In July 2005, the US Air Force awarded Northrop-Grumman a three-year $52 million contract to finish developing of the APG-68(V)10 for the US Air Force 240 F-16C/D Block 50/52 fleet. However, in FY07, the APG-68(V)10 upgrade program was cancelled by the US Air Force.
AN/APG-80
The Northrop Grumman APG-68(V)5 agile-beam radar has been redesignated AN/APG-80. The AN/APG-80 is an AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar that has three times the range of any radar fitted to the current AN/APG-68. Instead of a conventional antenna, it features an array of "transmit-receive (T/R)" modules that cooperate to operate as a "smart" antenna that can perform multiple functions at once. The AESA radar also provides frequency hopping and other techniques for "low probability of intercept" operation, meaning that the radar can often detect a target without the target's electronic warnings systems becoming aware that it is being scanned. Improved defensive countermeasures are added as well.
注意现在AM用的是66V2, CG用的是68V4, CJ用的是68V7~
没有一个用的是F4模拟的68V5..
太讽刺了哈哈~~
