The APG-83 is designed to be installed without making any major modifications to the jet.

The U.S. Air Force (USAF) has recently installed the Northrop Grumman APG-83 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar on its own F-16.

Noteworthy as reported by Alert 5 Weblog, the first operational F-16 to have the radar is a jet belonging to the Republic of China Air Force.
However photos published by EdwardsAir Force Base (AFB)show #87-0392 getting the new radar as well. The bird is currently assigned to the 416th Flight Test Squadron (FLTS).

The 416th FLTS in fact continually conducts developmental testing to enhance the warfighting capabilities of the F-16 Fighting Falcon. Currently one focus of the F-16 testers is the integration and testing of the new radar as part of the F-16 Radar Modernization Program (RMP), explains Kenji Thuloweit, 412th Test Wing Public Affairs, in the article 416th FLTS working to upgrade F-16 radar.
According to its manufacturer, Northrop Grumman, the APG-83 Scalable Agile Beam Radar is a fifth-generation radar that is an Active Electronically Scanned Array fire control radar. It is intended to replace currently used APG-66 and APG-68 radars and provide the F-16 with advanced capabilities similar to fifth-generation fighters like the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II. Moreover the radar has the ability to operate in dense electronic environments, simultaneous multi-mode operations and enhanced system availability through increased reliability, maintainability and supportability.
