應該是為了穩定國外其他潛在客戶的軍心，在新加坡航空展上洛馬高層也聲明國際客戶的價錢不受影響：

SINGAPORE: Lockheed offers fixed-price F-16 upgrade

.....Carvalho reveals that Lockheed has reached a deal with Northrop Grumman to provide its Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR) at a fixed rate for international customers.

"If the USAF makes the decision to truncate the production part of CAPES, it does not affect anything we're offering inter- nationally. Even if the quantity of radars changes, the price remains the same.".....

我想最主要還是放話給新加坡聽的。

除了英國航太跟洛馬公司外，連波音也搶著殺進國際F-16性能提昇的市場裡：

.....Boeing might join the fray and, along with BAE, is eyeing $8 billion in opportunities in Singapore and Taiwan.
......

看在台灣不是完全沒有選擇的份上，洛馬公司最少得想辦法保住台灣這個客戶，進而去爭取其他國家客戶。

>>負責升級案的美國專案經理團隊上週已經向台灣方面提出簡報，F-16A/B型戰機的雷達升級案明年中就要組裝測試，

不過根據F-16.net一則去年12月中的報導，早已經有一架國軍F-16回原廠改裝新雷達了：

Production of the F-16 will likely continue through 2020

其中提到：
"One of the 145 jets being upgraded for Taiwan is also in the factory, its nose cone already open for insertion of the new Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar."

其他的消息來源指出，是派駐在愛德華空軍基地的那一架。
