Boeing Integrates Eagle Passive Active Warning and Survivability System onto U.S. Air Force F-15s

Recently, Boeing [NYSE: BA] began modifying the Eagle Passive Active Warning and Survivability System (EPAWSS) for the first two F-15E aircraft of the US Air Force. The electronic warfare system (EPAWSS), which will also be installed on the F-15EX Eagle II, will be given to 43 F-15Es.

EPAWSS represents a transformational overhaul to the F-15’s survivability by providing advanced capabilities to detect and counter both airborne and ground threats while also enhancing battlefield situational awareness. It was developed, produced, and integrated by the strong partnership between Boeing and BAE Systems.

According to Prat Kumar, vice president of F-15 Programs, the Eagle Passive Active Warning Survivability System improves mission effectiveness and survivability for the F-15 in contested areas and further strengthens a highly capable, lethal aircraft. “EPAWSS has effectively demonstrated that the F-15E and F-15EX can operate in a large force environment  to penetrate advanced enemy air defences and improve mission flexibility.”
