Computer and Targeting Systems F-15K
The F-15K possesses advanced computer, display, protection, radar, and targeting systems:
-Avionics suite: Honeywell advanced display core processor (ADCP)
-Cockpit-display technologies: seven-color liquid-crystal displays, two upfront control panels (flat-panel), joint helmet-mounted cueing system (JHMCS), and wide-field-of-view head-up display
-On-board protection systems: Lockheed Martin ALR-56C(v)1 early warning receiver and Northrop Grumman ALQ-135M jammer
-Radar: Raytheon AN/APG-63(v)1 radar:
-Air-to-air and air-to-ground modes of APG-70 radar with additional sea- surface searching/tracking, ground-moving target tracking, and enhanced high-resolution ground mapping for long-distance target identification
-Improved reliability and maintainability
-Third-generation targeting and navigation systems: forward-looking infrared (FLIR) and infrared search and track (IRST)
Performance
The F-15 family has a combat record of 101 victories and zero losses, and the F-15E predecessor flew thousands of combat missions during Operation Desert Storm and in the Balkans.
