Weapon system modification and development refers to the modification and development of an existing weapon system to meet the requirements of the exporting country. To do this, the country proposes a project that reflects the exporting country's requirements and provides funding to the company to help develop it.
In the case of FA-50, the retrofitting and development support for a total of three projects contributed to the creation of exports to countries such as Poland and Malaysia.
1. The FA-50 used by the South Korean military was developed in consideration of its relatively small operational radius on the Korean Peninsula, so it is not competitive for export to countries with large territories, so modifications were made to install a probe-type aerial refueling system and a 300-gallon external fuel tank.
2. The RWR, CMDS, and C/D band antennas currently installed on the FA-50 have been discontinued or have been subject to export restrictions to some countries. To overcome this problem, the modification was developed and applied to the aircraft for the export countries.
