Initial Operational Test and Evaluation

Abstract

This includes development of the F-15E APG-82(V)1 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, the F-15C/D and F-15E Advanced Display Core Processor (ADCP) II and the F-15C/D and F-15E Eagle Passive/Active Warning Survivability System (EPAWSS). The APG-82(V)1 will supply the F-15E with a digital radar that will provide improved range and resolution, as well as a significant improvement in reliability. This AESA radar has the ability to provide electronic attack and protection capabilities. The ADCP II will develop a common mission computer for the F-15C/D and F-15E. The current mission computers of both platforms have reached their limits of speed, memory and throughput. Additionally, digital systems have changed the security requirements of both platforms and the older mission computers cannot be upgraded to meet these new requirements. A common mission computer is expected to reduce overall development costs as well as long term maintenance costs. The program will also develop a new F-15C/D cockpit display to replace an obsolete one. EPAWSS will replace the obsolete Tactical Electronic Warfare System (TEWS), which will help the aircraft survive in high threat environments. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
