〔編譯陳成良/綜合報導〕我國向美國採購的66架全新「F-16V」(F-16 Block 70)戰機,首批新機即將跨海返台。這批戰機並非由舊機改裝,而是由美國原廠全新製造的Block 70,在結構壽命與雷達配置方面,與舊機升級版存在差異。
軍聞網站《Defense News》報導指出,台灣獲得的並非如部分盟國採用的「舊機升級版(Retrofit)」,而是由美國原廠全新製造的機型。該報並比較指出,國際上許多國家,如南韓升級KF-16、新加坡升級F-16D,多數是將服役多年的舊機送回廠進行航電改裝,受限於早期機體結構,機身壽命與內部線束空間也受到既有設計限制。
相較之下,洛克希德‧馬丁(Lockheed Martin)位於美國南卡羅來納州格林維爾(Greenville)的F-16生產線所打造的Block 70,從工廠出廠即為全新製造的機型。
原廠新造機優勢 結構壽命達1.2萬小時
綜合防務媒體與原廠技術資料,全新製造的F-16 Block 70在硬體設計上具備兩項主要特點。
首先是「結構壽命」。根據洛馬原廠公開的技術規格,全新生產的F-16 Block 70結構服務壽命達到12,000飛行小時,在長期飛行使用下,可提供較長的機體使用壽命。
其次是「雷達與發電配置」。Block 70的機鼻內部空間、散熱通道與發電機容量,是依AN/APG-83主動電子掃描陣列(AESA)雷達需求打造,搭配全新機體設計,提供後續航電系統整合所需的硬體條件。
隨著首批F-16V Block 70交付返台,這批全新製造、搭載AN/APG-83主動電子掃描陣列(AESA)雷達的戰機陸續交付空軍,後續交機進度也將持續受到關注。
