Not Pakistani F-16 but amazing demonstration with full throttle, afterburners and flares at sunset

Freaking insane, both the pilot and the falcon.

Exelis electronic countermeasures pod certified for installation on Pakistani F-16s
September 30, 2014 (by Carolyn Camp) - Exelis has received official certification for its AN/ALQ-211(V)9 Advanced Integrated Defensive Electronic Warfare System (AIDEWS) to fly on board Pakistani F-16s.

The AIDEWS pod is currently the only digital radio frequency memory-based electronic warfare (EW) pod certified to F-16 basic aircraft limits, including requirements for lightning protection.

The ALQ-211(V)9 is an external pod variant of the Exelis ALQ-211 family of electronic self-protection systems. After completing the U.S. Air Force Seek Eagle process for aircraft stores certification, the system is now cleared for deployment with F-16A/B block 15 aircraft procured through the Peace Drive 2 Foreign Military Sales program. This certification can be readily extended to F-16 Blocks 25-52, both domestic and international.

To achieve certification, the Exelis team defined, flew and evaluated a series of compatibility flight profile (CFP) missions designed to clear the pod to the F-16’s basic limits. Two stores configurations were evaluated to capture current and future pod configuration requirements without the need for additional CFP missions. Conducted at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, the successful tests were a collaborative effort with Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, Fort Worth, Texas, and the U.S. Air Force.

The AIDEWS pod is a self-contained integrated electronic countermeasures and radar warning receiver system designed to protect the F-16 Fighting Falcon from radio frequency (RF) threats. The pod system offers the flexibility to be installed or removed based on mission requirements, while greatly enhancing pilots’ situational awareness.

“The AIDEWS pod provides the U.S. and its allies with a modular, highly capable and cost-effective survivability system for a range of fighter aircraft,” said Joe Rambala, vice president and general manager of the Exelis integrated electronic warfare systems business. “Achieving this certification will give more pilots access to the system’s advanced RF protection and the flexibility to meet the evolving RF threat.”

Seek Eagle is the standard aircraft stores certification process for the U.S. Air Force. Through digital modeling, simulation and analysis, ground tests and flight tests, the process ensures that stores such as weapons, carriage and release equipment and external tanks and pods can fly safely on their respective platforms. The certification process includes verifying safe upload and download procedures, flight limits for safe carriage, employment, jettison and safe escape, and ballistic accuracy.

The AIDEWS electronic self-protection system is produced at the Exelis facility in Clifton, New Jersey, and is part of a suite of EW technologies designed to enable domestic and international customers to perform their critical missions. Leveraging its decades of innovation and experience in the electromagnetic spectrum, Exelis has identified EW as one of the company’s four strategic growth platforms.

you missed the pun there buddy , i was pointing the timing of official news about 211 pod in use with PAF

but still if it was so well known then why some of your members were not agreeing that 211 which pakistan were getting not having DRFM in the previous posts.

you can check that

there was a misconception on drfm inclusion due to some unauthentic news. However, your pun sound more like a wishful thinking at best.

whatever pleases you My lord

Anyways
I dont have any idea about KG300G pod 's DRFM jamming capability

but does it's jamming mechanism what is stated in the pic if you can read it = DRFM jamming???

BARI EID BARI PICTURES

Falcons ready to strike: A F-16 formation equipped with AIM-120 AMRAAM and percision guided munitions; GBU-10 Laser Guided Bomb and GBU-31 JDAM.

The aircraft are also mounted with pack of Conformal Fuel Tanks (CFTs) which provide longer 'on-station time' and enhance range of aircraft.

Falcons evening flight: Falcons formation during evening patrol.

Falcons with ELINT support: A F-16 formation flying along side of Da-20 Electronic singals INTelligence (ELINT) aircraft from No.24 Sqn. Da-20 Falcon aircraft are fitted with Electronic Warfare equipment for ELINT/Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) role. ELINT aircraft support in battlefield gives Air Force command over the adversary by literally blinding the enemy with radar jamming, communications jamming and radar spoofing.

Db-110 - the eye of Falcons: A F-16 Block52 equipped with DB-110 reconnaissance and long range photography pod.
DB-110 is the most advanced electro-optical infrared (EO/IR) reconnaissance pod available for the F-16. It provides long-range, high-resolution, stand off imaging capability to support both day and night tactical operations. Images can be transmitted from aircraft to analysts on the ground in real time

Falcon and Sun: A F-16D during an evening sortie.

Rising with dawn:A F-16 formation during early morning patrol.

Armed & ready: No.5 MR Sqn's deadly looking F-16 carrying 2000lbs Mk-84 bombs and Sniper ATP mounted on starboard engine inlet pylon.

Sniper ATP provides all weather, day and night advance precision targeting and imaging facility to the operator.
