Interesting gleaning of U.S. technology sharing with Australia. Some interesting tid-bits pointed out along the way: At least someone in the USAF is showing concern about the not-so-complete reliability of the UAE...giving them only the "black box" version of the AESA for example. Still bothers me we haven't got this on our own F-16s yet, though. It will be backed into our F-15s, at least.

I want a hi-resolution marine nav. radar that can not only detect a seagull but determine its sex at 12 minles.

There is no compelling reason to outfit our F-16s with AESA radar when we are purchasing F-35s to replace our F-16s.
I believe that AESA radar is also onboard the F/A-18E/F
