The Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR) will be a full performance fire control Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) derived from proven AESA technology for F-16 aircraft. SABR is being designed for retrofit to existing F-16 aircraft and can be scaled to fit other platforms and mission areas. Here you see USAF F-16A block 10 #80-0537 equiped with such a radar.

The JDEWR is a warfare system that provides tactical-level training to participants in live training events. It's implemented as a threat capable of submitting ground threat defenses for F-16 pilots at Misawa AB. [USAF photo by SrA. Derek VanHorn]

Lockheed Martin technicians install hardware for mounting Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR) on an F-16 assigned to the 416th FLTS. Difficulties were encountered during installation of mounting hardware prompting technicians to make alterations to factory-supplied parts. [USAF photo by Christopher Okula]

Pictured on the right is a sniper pod stand designed by SrA. Christopher Caruso, an avionics technician with the 555th EAMU. The stand allows maintainer to connect the sniper pod to an F-16 without having to mount it to the aircraft and perform the necessary steps to test its functionality. Pictured on the left is a common wheeled platform used to transport a sniper pod. While still used to transport sniper pods, maintainers are unable to test a sniper pod on it or conduct maintenance. This innovation saves man-hours and money because of the amount of time it takes to mount the sniper pod to the aircraft. If, after the ops checks, there are still problems with the sniper pod, it would have to be unmounted and fixed. The stand allows maintainers to test and fix the sniper pod without moving it.
