Abstract

Factors that influence software project management includes project size, delivery time, budgets and costs, application domain, technology to be implemented, system constraints, user requirements and available resources.

F-16 is a multirole jet fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics for the United States Air Force. It is used now by Air Force of thirty countries. F-16 aircraft has computers that are fixed inside its structure. These computers provide high-tech solutions for complicated environments that pose multiple threats of modern generation of weapons.

The core strength of the computers fixed in F-16 is its software known as the Operational Flight Program (OFP). F-16 has many classified information and several versions and types of weapons for the operational flight programme. The entire F-16 system hardware is enabled by the Operational Flight Program, which consists of a series of software modules. Each Operational Flight Program software module identifies the functions of a separate weapon system or operating systems.

The aim of this study is to analyse the software capabilities of the F-16 Operational Flight Program and to update it from time to time.
