For over two decades, Elbit Systems has been a source of F-16 avionics for Israel’s Air Force (IAF) as well as for customers worldwide. All IAF F-16s fly with Elbit Systems avionics onboard. Additionally, we have received numerous contracts from the U.S. Government, Lockheed Martin, the prime contractor of the F 16 and others, to supply electronic and electro-optic systems for F 16 aircraft used by the U.S. Air Force and other air forces.
In recent years, Elbit Systems, EFW, El-Op and Cyclone have received several orders for additional systems and equipment, as well as repairs. Currently Elbit Systems is a supplier to Lockheed Martin for the new IAF F-16 aircraft (F-16I), responsible for the following systems: mission computers, helmet mounted systems, display systems, stores management systems and others.
