Citat:F-16 In The Anechoic
Photo by Samuel King, Jr.
A 40th Flight Test Squadron F-16 Fighting Falcon sits in the anechoic chamber after completion of the initial round of testing simulations on the new M-7 software upgrade on 30 October 2014 at Eglin AFB, Florida. The M-7 software provides multiple advanced capabilities to the aircraft. The anechoic chamber, located in the Joint Preflight Integration of Munitions and Electronic Systems building, is a room designed to stop reflections of either sound or electromagnetic waves. The room is insulated from exterior sources of noise. JPRIMES provides an environment to facilitate testing air-to-air and air-to-surface munitions and electronics systems on full-scale aircraft and land vehicles prior to open air testing.

Poljaci bilduju Migove i F-16ce
http://www.defence24.com/news_jassm-contract-to-be.....-in-poland
Citat:Agreements regarding procurement of the JASSM missiles and the NSM missile system for the 2nd Coastal Missile Squadron will be signed in December this year. Price of the American missiles and F-16 modernisation bundle is going to be at least two times lower than 500 million dollars indicated in the FMS – as MoD Secretary of State, Czesław Mroczek, stated during the conference which dealt with the Armed Forces modernisation programme
Citat:The contract assumes that Poland will obtain 40 AGM-158A JASSM missiles manufactured by Lockheed Martin with 2 additional combat-ready AGM-158A that will be used for testing, along with the testing instrumentation and self-destruction system, 2 training missiles with the same instrumentation, and 2 missiles for certification purposes.
Additionally, the mission computers of the Polish F-16s will be modernized, up to the Tape M6.5 standard, in order to integrate both the AGM-158 JASSM cruise missiles and some other new weaponry, including the AIM-120D AMRAAM, AIM-9X Sidewinder Block II air-to-air missiles and the SDBs (Small Diameter Bombs).
As we can see, JASSM is just the tip of the iceberg.
M6.5 software was designed in order to meet the needs of the European users of the F-16 jets, dubbed EPAF (European Participating Air Forces). There are some rumours that the Polish Viper jet fighters will also get new Electronic Warfare suites.
