"Last month, Israel’s Haaretz newspaper cited a British government report which listed an application for licences for the export of Israeli military equipment, which contained British components, to a number of countries, including Pakistan.
The British department of business, innovation and skills reported the application was for the export of Israeli Head Up Display (HUD) units and Electronic Warfare (EW) Systems to Pakistan.
HUDs are screens installed above the control panel and before the windscreen in the cockpits of typically military aircraft, especially fighters, which provide selected data inputs to pilots without requiring them to look down to check various data display screens and instruments. Israel manufactures the HUDs for its F-16 fighter aircraft, also operated by the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) in addition to the Chinese-built JF-17.
EW Systems is actually a broad term, and encompasses systems that form the backbone of operations in modern militaries. These are offensive and defensive systems, including directed energy, that work in the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum to identify, track, confuse, intercept, obstruct, jam or destroy enemy electronic systems."

Falco Gains Mystery Customer as EVO Prepped for Flight Farnborough Air Show »
July 10, 2012 by David Donald
Selex Galileo has announced a new sale for its Falco tactical unmanned air system, bringing the number of export customers to four. The company has also revealed that more than 50 air vehicles are in operation.
While Selex has not named any of its Falco customers, the Pakistan air force has separately declared that it is a major user of the type and that it has seen operational service during anti-terrorist campaigns in Pakistan’s remote federally administered tribal areas. Pakistan is believed to have been the launch customer for the Falco, which began operations in 2007. Other nations that have been linked with the Falco include Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
As well as providing the Falco air vehicle, Selex Galileo offers a range of sensors, including EOST 46 electro-optical/infrared turret, Gabbiano 20 multi-mode surveillance radar and the PicoSAR radar. The latter is a compact, active “e-scan” radar providing synthetic aperture radar imagery and ground moving target indication. When used in conjunction with change detection software, the PicoSAR can be a powerful counter-IED tool. The Falco can also carry the SAGE electronic warfare suite for accurate direction-finding, classification and geo-location of emitters.
Meanwhile, Selex Galileo (Outdoor Exhibit 1) is expecting to begin flight tests of the Falco EVO derivative this week. The EVO was unveiled at last year’s Paris Air Show and is a version with longer tailbooms and wingspan extended to 41 feet, compared with the 24 feet of the standard version. The extra span equates to an increase in maximum takeoff weight, which is shared between extra payload capacity and more fuel. The latter gives Falco EVO an endurance of more than 18 hours. The fuselage pod of the EVO remains unchanged from that of the baseline version, and the longer wings and tailbooms can be retrofitted to existing Falco vehicles.

Interesting, since the 18 BLK 52 F-16s come with the new radar anyway, and Pakistan ordered 45 new sets for the MLU aircraft. So is this an indication that PAF is soon to receive more used F-16s?
