I was wondering if anyone knew the name of this component, something that is apparently only found on Belgian F-16s. See the attached image and the arrow.
I'm not referring to the threat warning antenna, but the smaller bulge to the right of it in the image.
Thanks in advance for any help! |

CARAPACE was on Belgian F-16s only untill recently. The Belgian government sold some F-16s to Jordan and the CARAPACE system was kept installed in those aircraft. So from now on both Belgian and Jordanian (ex-Belgian aircraft) F-16s are equiped with CARAPACE.
