F-15 Infrared Search and Track (IRST)

Abstract

The Infrared Search and Track (IRST) project will complete with FY 2023 funding. The IRST system provides the F-15 the ability to detect and track objects by infrared radiation. This capability complements the radar to enhance survivability and lethality against air-to-air threats, and enhances air-to-ground targeting. It provides a passive infrared sensor system that searches for and detects infrared radiation, and provides the aircraft mission computer track file data on infrared targets.
