AN/APG-83

The Northrop Grumman Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR) is a full-performance fire control radar for General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon and other aircraft. SABR offers all the advantages of a multi-function active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar with significant acquisition and life cycle cost savings. Designed to support next generation weapons and tactics, the SABR ensures the needed combat advantage over the adversary. In a 2013 competition, SABR was selected as the AESA radar for the F-16 modernization and update programs of the United States Air Force and Taiwan.

Designed initially to fit F-16 aircraft with no structural, power or cooling modifications, the SABR is scalable to fit other aircraft platforms and mission areas.

In 2010, SABR was installed on a USAF F-16 at Edwards AFB and flew 17 consecutive demonstrations sorties without cooling or stability issues

The AN/APG-83 SABR-GS (Global Strike) will be retrofitted to airworthy Rockwell B-1 Lancer airframes beginning in 2016.
