- Transformation (text trimmed)
Even at the end of its life, the F-14 Tomcat continued to be upgraded. However, the transformation of the community into a viable strike entity was not only based on hardware upgrades, it also was transformed by the adoption of the Forward Air Controller Airborne (FAC (A)) mission.
The latest upgrade to the Tomcat included the Link 16 software which enables the aircraft to target enemy aircraft spotted by airborn AWACS aircraft without using its own radar, giving it superior look down kill ability in BVR combat scenarios.[1][2] [3][4]
