F-15E Fighter Jets Can Now Be Loaded With Twice as Many JASSM Missiles 13 May 2021, 13:55 UTC · by 6 photos It all started with a problem. Earlier this year, during a Weapons and Tactics Conference (WEPTAC), expert tacticians were analyzing whether a formation of fighter jets would be more effective than a single bomber, in carrying Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles (JASSM) for missions in highly-contested environments. This way, the size of the strike package could be reduced and risks would be distributed. But the problem was that a fighter jet can only carry maximum two JASSMs....

The two United States Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles which arrived in Estonia on a one-day visit Wednesday took to the skies above Ämari air base, and also the islands of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa, accompanied by Estonian Air Force (Õhuvägi) jets. The U.S. planes were in Estonia as part of Exercise Agile Liberty, headquartered in Poland, and had flown over from their unit's permanent home at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, England. The main aims of the exercise were short-range air support maneuvers, in conjunction with controllers, and the tactical management of air-to-air targeting, in cooperation ...

WASHINGTON: Air Force Research Laboratory is seeking AI capabilities to help analysts more rapidly pinpoint and/or disable jamming in the ‘noisy’ battlefields of the future — as well as specific algorithms to enhance the F-15 fighter jet’s electronic warfare capabilities. “At least to begin with, we expect the AI to accomplish what the analysts have been doing, but faster,” an AFRL spokesperson said...

US Air Force The Air Force says it was able to fly an F-15E with six Joint Direct Attack Munitions mounted on one side of the fighter jet. Strapping six JDAMs to one side means the F-15E can now carry up to 15 of the guided bombs, allowing it to ferry the weapons for other jets. The test was a proof of concept for Agile Combat Employment, a concept that allows the Air Force to spread out its forces to make them harder to target. EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Florida — The 85th Test and Evaluation Squadron successfully flew an F-15E Strike Eagle carrying six JDAMs on a ...
