AN/AAQ-13 navigation pod provides high-speed penetration and precision attack on tactical targets at night and in adverse weather. The navigation pod contains a terrain-following radar and a fixed thermographic camera, which provides a visual cue and input to the aircraft's flight control system, enabling it to maintain a pre-selected altitude above the terrain and avoid obstacles. This sensor displays an infrared image of the terrain in front of the aircraft, to the pilot, on a Head-up display. The navigation pod enables the pilot to fly along the general contour of the terrain at high speed, using mountains, valleys and the cover of darkness to avoid detection.

While the Lockheed Martin Sniper is a targeting pod for military aircraft that provides positive target identification, autonomous tracking, GPS coordinate generation, and precise weapons guidance from extended standoff ranges.

Hi any body have a clue why this aircraft is carrying two pods side by side & what’s the difference for carrying a single to a dual pod
of anybody having some better info to answer

The number of F-16s in PAF is around 75, and for once I am glad that PAF did not get many more of these F-16s. I believe that with time, these F-16s will be slowly disposed off. The main reasons are limitations to upgrades to the existing systems due to US unwillingness, along with Political, and strategic.

The days of F-16s in PAF will come to end, and I will be one of the blokes celebrating this, and saying thank God !

Well a time may come when PAF may decide to upgrade the f16 with their own choice of weapons etc as the yanks won't play ball

Not at all...

Both have different roles, TGP is mainly used for tracking targets and Navpod is used for navigation and terrain masking. So you cant compare the two.

What if APG-68 is switched off and SNIPER is used to target an aircraft with AMRAAM ?

Most people forget...once th

Worth also remembering that while an F-16 can carry half a dozen missiles including four BVRs....while say the SU-30 can be equipped with up to a dozen rounds mostly BVRs......but it took just one AMRAAM to kill the myth.

Most people forget once the will to fight is taken from the enemy the rest is history

It's not just that, Indians are masters of trying to fight the last war. They really think in 10 years we will be content with AMRAAMS and F-16s, that is what they are planing for.

PAF sees itself in 10 years as moving on a generation. Cyber, AI, Networking and stealth may well mean IAF Rafales flying blind and being blastes out of the sky like IAF MIG-21s were. Their lack on investment in critical capabilities is shocking. They even needed UAE/French refuellers for the ferry flight for their Rafs.

SU-30 is early 90's tech, they think this can cope with AESA/PL-15 combo.

Guys live on a fantasy world.

they are masters of Bullshit.
in the west, the multinational companies that have outsourced work to India are realizing that Indians dont only deliver substandard performance but they constantly and habitually lie about their abilities and the progress of work, they cheat and end up costing more due to delays and overheads to the organisations that moved their operations in India. Data protection is biggest issue.

their pilots and technicians deserve some praise that they are able to fly the clusterfuck of an air force which in most polite terms seems to be confused. that all said, they are very good at manipulating and propaganda and have very successfully denied the access to Western technology to PAF. we got our work cut out so our planners need to be on top of their game to find any avenues both i East or West to gain any competitive edge.

it would need to be very lucky shot to see out a target in the air at such long ranges using the T-Pod. But T-Pod can be slaved to radar for a2a photos but to use it as an IRIS-T is not plausible.
