The latest version of the F-15 combat jet is the F-15EX, which is based on the F-15 Advanced Eagle that Boeing is building for the air forces of Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The Advanced Eagle has a fly-by-wire flight control system, digital electronic warfare (EW) suite, an infrared search and track (IRST) system, and the Raytheon APG-63(v)3 AESA radar.
The latest version of the Raytheon APG-82(V)1 AESA radar optimizes the F-15Es multirole mission capability, Raytheon officials say. In addition to its extended range and improved multi-target track and precision engagement capabilities, the APG-82(V)1 improves F-15 system reliability over the APG-70 radar in the legacy two-seat F-15E jet fighter-bomber.
Raytheon capitalizes on enabling technologies in the company's the APG-79 and APG-63(V)3 AESA radars flying on the Navy F/A-18E/F jet fighter-bomber, the EA-18G electronic warfare (EW) jet, and the single-seat F-15C air-superiority jet fighter. The APG-82(V)1 is intended to boost situational awareness and attack capability in the F-15E....ARTICLE ENDS
