The Royal Air Force of Oman currently flies 12 F-16 Block 50 fighters: 8 F-16Cs and 4 F-16Ds, whose delivery began in 2005. They complement the RAFO’s 18 Jaguar strike aircraft.
The contract continues the company’s strong global position to deliver the right systems and expertise to support F-16 aircraft operated by U.S. allies.
BAE Systems has delivered more than
25,000 support equipment and test systems to more than 24 countries worldwide.
The company has done so with a 98 percent on time delivery record and a 99 percent customer return rate for the service, training, repair, andthru-life support of the systems provided. BAE Systems will develop and deliver these items from its Fort Worth, Texas facility by early 2014.

In August, South Korea selected BAE Systems as the sole source contractor to upgrade its F-16 fleet . Additionally, the company supports the U.S. Air National Guard’supgraded F-16s and the Turkish Air Force’s upgraded F-16s. BAE Systems’ upgrade solution includes the Commercial Fire Control Computer, which is currently the highest through put and most supportable mission computer in any F-16.
