The F-15X jet fighter: a legacy airframe with the latest avionics, radar, and glass cockpit
February 5, 2019


The Military & Aerospace Electronics take:

5 Feb. 2019 -- The F-15X, which takes a 1970s airframe design and packs it with 21st century electronics technologies, also features avionics like updated radio and satellite communications; the Eagle Passive Active Warning Survivability System (EPAWSS) electronic warfare and electronic surveillance suite; and Legion Pod-mounted infrared search and track system (IRST).

With the help of the company's new AMBER missile carrying racks, the F-15X will be able to carry a whopping 22 air-to-air missiles during a single sortie. Alternatively, it could fly with eight air-to-air missiles and 28 Small Diameter Bombs (SDBs), or up to seven 2,000-pound bombs and eight air-to-air missiles.
