Awards boost USAF Eagle upgrade effort

摘要

The US Air Force (USAF) effort to upgrade its Boeing F-15 Eagle combat aircraft took a step forward on 8 April, with a significant developmental milestone and a further contract award for two of the proposed enhancements. Boeing announced that the Eagle Passive/Active Warning and Survivability System (EPAWSS) upgrade had made its maiden flight on an F-15 testbed, while on the same day the Department of Defense contracted the company for low-rate initial production lot 3 of the Advanced Display Core Processor II (ADCP II) for the aircraft.
