EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Nov. 10 (UPI) — Raytheon reports that it has delivered the 200th APG-63(V)3 active electronically scanned array radar for an F-15 fighter.
The F-15 is used by the U.S. Air Force, Air National Guard and U.S. allies but the company gave no indication as to the identity of the recipient of the AESA unit.
“The APG-63(V)3 is in demand worldwide, and our AESA radar production line in Forest, Miss., is thriving,” said Roy Azevedo, vice president, Tactical Airborne Systems. “Backed by Raytheon’s commitment to the warfighter, our proven AESA radars are the right choice to take the F-15 confidently into the future.”
Raytheon’s APG-63(V)3 is an all-weather, multi-mode AESA radar and provides enhanced situational awareness and interoperability to F-15 air crew. The company says it is three times more reliable than older mechanically scanned array radars.
“The Raytheon AESA radar family may be tailored to fit any platform’s size, space and weight requirements, and all our systems share common technology for incomparable detection, targeting, tracking and self-protection,” Azevedo said.
