How the F-15 Jet Is Adjusting to the 21st Century
Next-generation warfare equipment, such as advanced electronic warfare, active electronically scanned array radar, ultra-high-speed computer processing, and more, are being introduced.
The Air Force’s first F-15EX Eagle II aircraft will take to the sky as part of a fast-tracked effort to integrate the new jet into the force and bring its new technologies into the service’s fast-emerging mesh networking of combat nodes in multi-domain warfare.
The newly upgraded jet, first delivered to the Air Force earlier this year, will introduce a sphere of next-generation types of technical applications to include advanced electronic warfare, active electronically scanned array radar, ultra-high-speed computer processing as well as a number of additional adaptations intended to support future combat operations.
