Covering a total of 60 IDFs, the programme will involve installation of enhanced radar, avionics and electronic warfare capabilities, as well as a domestically manufactured-Wan Chien cluster bomb onto the aircraft, Agence France Presse has reported, citing a report submitted by MND to Parliament. The aircraft will be capable of deployment soon after the upgrade, the report noted, adding that the remaining aircraft of the Republic of China Air Force’s 127 IDF fleet are scheduled to be modernised by 2017. Launched in 2009 with funding of NT$17.06bn ($0.586m), the first phase covers modernisation of aircraft that have served the air force for over a decade, in an effort to extend their service life by an additional 20 years.(Source: airforce-technology.com)
