SEOUL — South Korea has chosen the Raytheon RACR fighter radar as the centerpiece of the upgrade of the bulk of its fleet of Lockheed Martin F-16s. Subject to U.S. government approval, Raytheon will supply 134 Raytheon Advance Combat Radar (RACR) sets to South Korea, the company says. BAE Systems is modernizing the same number of South Korean F-16s. Until now, the main unresolved issue in the modernization program was the selection of radar.
