Fleet Readiness Center Southwest (FRCSW) is enhancing the U.S. Navy’s F-16 fleet by introducing two major capabilities: the application of Uniform Have Glass (UHG) coating and the establishment of a vital structural repair line for the Canopy Sill Longeron (CSL).

The Adversary and Specialized Aircraft Program Office (PMA-226) and Fleet Readiness Center Southwest (FRCSW) have exceeded expectations by completing the first-ever Programmed Structural Sustainment Repair (PSSR) on a U.S. Navy F-16C Viper this month, delivering the aircraft eight months early.

This milestone marks a historic win for both organizations, showcasing their ability to deliver critical capabilities to the fleet with unprecedented speed and precision.
