Completion work onthe antenna and final verification of the system in Raytheon's Radar SystemIntegration Lab, prior to flight test, were achieved in a record sevenweeks when six-to-12 months is usually the norm.    The APG-63(V)3 AESA radar exceeded all performance expectations inair-to-air modes during flight test. At least 10 more flights, intended tofurther demonstrate enhanced air-to-air capability, are expected to beginat Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., this fall.    "The (V)3 AESA radar's ability to act as the core sensor backbone ofthe aircraft by providing accurate and timely information makes it a trueforce multiplier for the F-15," said Erv Grau, vice president for aircombat avionics at Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems. "Its ability toprovide increased situational awareness across multiple assets will providethe Air Force and Air National Guard a low-cost, low-risk and provencapability to ensure homeland defense requirements are fully met."    The (V)3 radar combines the revolutionary technology of the Navy'sAPG-79 AESA radar program, already in production, with improvements to theAPG-63(V)2, currently operational with a squadron at Elmendorf Air ForceBase, Alaska.    With advanced radar technology that F-15 pilots can trust from take-offto landing on every mission, the APG-63(V)3 will enhance aircrewsurvivability and connectivity with other allied forces, according to RamonEstrada, manager of F-15 AESA programs for Raytheon.    "The Navy is already experiencing the benefits of the JSF (Joint StrikeFighter)-generation technology through the APG-79 AESA radar on its F/A-18Super Hornets," Estrada said. "We are now looking forward to providing theAir National Guard with its next-generational capability through theAPG-63(V)3. Raytheon's radar will provide powerful, adaptable technology,proven performance, and the tactical flexibility that F-15 pilots requireand our nation's defense demands."De eso ya pasaron casi 6 meses... o sea, lo mas probable es que sea un radarque ya este bastante maduro como para ofrecerse, ojo, que no es la versiondel F-15K, es una version posterior, la que lleva el F-15SG. Los 12 Eagles paraSingapur (con armas y todo) salieron 1000 millones... demasiado en opinion.</blockquote>
