Overview
- The US Air Force awarded Northrop Grumman a $488 million contract to sustain APG-66 and APG-68 radars used on F-16s under the Foreign Military Sales program.
- The work takes place in Linthicum Heights, Maryland, with support scheduled through March 31, 2036.
- More than 20 partner air forces are covered, including Pakistan, Bahrain, Greece, Israel, Jordan, Poland, Romania, Thailand and Türkiye.
- The Life Cycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base issued the award on a sole-source basis and obligated $2.64 million in fiscal 2026 funds at signing.
- The sustainment move follows a December 2025 notice of a separate $686 million package to upgrade Pakistan’s F-16s, a path US officials say maintains interoperability and extends fleet life.
