Raytheon Awarded AESA Radar Upgrade Contract for F-15C Aircraft

摘要

Raytheon Co. has received a contract from Boeing for the production of advanced APG-63(V)3 Active Elec-tronically Scanned Array radars. The US Air Force and the US Air National Guard will receive radars from the contract and deliveries will begin in the second quarter of 2011. The radars are intended to enhance the perfor-mance of deployed F-15C aircraft and will replace the cur-rent mechanically scanned radar systems. With its superior targeting and tracking capabilities, the APG-63(V)3 will enable aircrews to detect and identify targets well beyond the ranee of the existing systems.
