WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB, Ohio – Electronic warfare (EW) avionics experts at the Boeing Co. have won their second large contract within a month to produce EW avionics for the U.S. Air Force F-15 jet fighter fleet that will help protect the combat aircraft from radar-guided missiles.
Officials of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, announced a $189.3 million six-year order Thursday to Boeing Defense, Space & Security segment in St. Louis for the F-15's Eagle Passive Active Warning and Survivability System (EPAWSS) low rate initial production.
The EPAWSS provides the Air Force F-15 jet fighter fleet with EW technology to make the most of mission effectiveness and survivability, BAE Systems officials say. It provides offensive and defensive EW options for the pilot.
