``With the added advantage of redesigned conformal fuel tanks (CTFs) that allow for internal weapons carriage, the Silent Eagle becomes a very attractive fighter for Boeing's international customers.
Other sophisticated weapons that Bahrain had requested from the US during the 1990s include: conformal fuel tanks to increase the range of its F-16 fighter jets, the advanced medium range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM), the Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared System and the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) to boost the capabilities of multiple launch rocket systems.
Longer-term possibilities include a new engine such as the Eurojet EJ200 to replace the F404-derived RM12, thrust-vectoring for Stol performance and improved manoeuvrability at low airspeeds, new manoeuvring modes to improve air-to-air gunnery, conformal fuel tanks and a new Ericsson multi-mode active electronically-scanned array (Aesa) radar, which would provide terrain avoidance/following and synthetic aperture radar mapping in addition to air-to-air modes.
