The agreement marks a strategic milestone in Argentina’s acquisition program and confirms Terma’s continued role as a trusted supplier of advanced defense technology

Terma has signed a support agreement with the Argentinian Ministry of Defense and the Argentinian Air Force, formalizing its role in the modernization and operational preparation of 24 former Royal Danish Air Force F-16 aircraft.

Following the April 2024 sale of F-16 aircraft by the Danish Ministry of Defense Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO) to Argentina – coordinated with the U.S. Government – Terma has been selected to provide key upgrades and support services related to the aircraft’s Electronic Warfare systems. These efforts are part of a broader refurbishment led by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics.

Through its agreement with the Argentinian Ministry of Defense and the Argentinian Air Force (Fuerza Aérea Argentina, FAA), Terma commits to delivering software and hardware enhancements, mission planning tools, ground support equipment, and engineering assistance. These contributions are essential to ensuring the aircraft are fully mission-ready and tailored to the operational needs of the FAA.

“This agreement reflects Terma’s core strength in delivering mission-critical systems and integrated solutions across platforms and domains. We combine deep technical expertise with decades of operational experience to support our partners in meeting complex defense requirements. We are impressed by Argentina’s forward-leaning approach and are proud to contribute to their evolving air capabilities,” said Henriette Hallberg Thygesen, CEO & President of Terma.

The agreement reflects Terma’s continued role as a trusted international defense partner and reinforces its position as a key provider of aerospace and security solutions to allied nations.
