The F-16 was built as an international fighter, and those countries that do
their own development and depot work, would have an interest in all
aspects of the flight computers. The radar and various other computer
code would also be available. I know the radar software was available
to our university, as many of us wrote algorithms against it for our Masters.
My groups project was to better track turbine velocities of targets, as a
possible enhancement to cruise missile detection. One would hope that
today the missiles would be designed to hide the turbine :-)

The F-16 is a very popular airplane. I'm just curious who has copies of
the source code to the plane and it's radar, etc. Obviously the USAF does,
but do the Israeli, the Belgians, or anyone else?
