The F-10A fleet is to receive an upgrade which will standardise the fleet and also keep them flying well into the next decade. At the moment around half the fleet are A2 standard with the rest either A(S) or ASE standard (and able to carry TPM-A missiles). Under the F-10AEA (Enhanced Attack) programme all 52 fighters will be bought up to the same standard.
All A2s will gain the ability to fire the TPM-A plus all aircraft will receive a new radar, improved cockpits, aerodynamic refinements and a refurbishment. The programme will begin later in the year.
