The Boeing-led team, which includes BAE systems, will begin engineering, manufacturing and development of the full-scale manned and unmanned QF-16s during Phase 1. The team will receive six F-16s during the program's development phase. After modification to the QF-16 configuration, they will serve as prototypes for engineering tests and evaluation prior to low-rate initial production. Up to 126 QF-16 drones will be converted beginning in 2014.BI233284 (msf12-0059-02)Maximum size:6240px × 4160px (~74 MB)20.8in × 13.8in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:2010s-air to air-beaches and coastlines-camouflage-copy space-day-drones-exteriors-F-16 Fighting Falcon-first flights-flying-full body views-haze-Non Boeing products-photos-QF-16-right side viewsRelated Photo/Videos:View All
