Boeing Team Awarded AESA Radar Modernization Contract for US Air Force F-15E
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 30, 2008 -- The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] has been awarded a $238 million System Development and Demonstration (SDD) contract by the U.S. Air Force to modernize the radar system on F-15E fighter aircraft.
"The Radar Modernization Program (RMP) will ensure that the F-15E continues its multirole supremacy for decades," said Mark Bass, Boeing F-15 Program vice president. "The supportability improvements and tactical flexibility inherent in the RMP take the F-15E capability to a higher level."
The RMP will incorporate an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) antenna with more-supportable radar electronics. The AESA replaces the APG-70 radar currently integrated on the F-15E, improving radar reliability, maintainability and performance while reducing support costs. When integrated into the F-15E weapons system, the AESA radar will improve detection and tracking of enemy targets, including small targets.
During the SDD phase, Boeing team member Raytheon will produce developmental and flight-test units and support Boeing's integration of the AESA into the F-15E. The integration activity will take place at Boeing facilities in St. Louis prior to the developmental and initial operational test and evaluation flight programs. Initial operational capability is expected in fiscal year 2014 with 12 operational aircraft.

波音团队获得美国空军F-15E战机AESA雷达现代化改进合同
圣路易斯，2008年10月30日--波音公司[纽约证券交易所代号：BA]已经获得美国空军授予的一份2.38亿美元的系统发展和演示（SDD）合同，对F-15E战机的雷达系统进行现代化改造。
“这一雷达现代化项目（RMP）将保证F-15E在几十年內延续起多任务的优势，”波音F-15项目副经理马克·巴斯说。“RMP所固有的支援性改进和战术灵活性将F-15E的能力提升到一个新的高度。”
RMP将更具维护性的雷达电子技术整合到一部有源电子扫描阵列（AESA）天线。AESA将替代F-15E现在装备的APG-70雷达，提高雷达的可靠性，可维护性及降低维护费用。当与F-15E的武器系统协同工作时，AESA雷达将提高发现和追踪敌方目标，包括小型目标的能力。
在SSD执行期间，波音项目伙伴雷声公司将提供发展和试飞服务并协同波音综合防务部门将AESA雷达整合进F-15E战机。波音综合防务部门将在波音圣路易斯工厂参与前期发展及最初的试飞和飞行评估项目。估计在2014财年将使12架现役飞机具备初始作战能力。
