The US Air Force has selected Raytheon to develop and produce a new F-16 combat aircraft Modular Mission Computer Upgrade (MMCU) which will provide more than two times the current processing power and 40 times the current memory, equipping pilots with near-fifth-generation aircraft computing power, the defense company said in a press release.

A new set of software problems may mean yet another series of delays for the F-35 fighter, already the most expensive and troublesome military equipment project in US history. - Sputnik International

The MMCU will deliver capabilities to combat emerging threats alongside fifth-generation fighters well into the future, the release added.
