USAF Air Combat Command announced on 4 August that it has analysed data from the AN/ALQ-250 Eagle Passive Active Warning Survivability System (EPAWSS) aboard the F-15EX Eagle II, in the wake of initial developmental and operational test firings of AIM-120D and AIM-120C3 AMRAAM missiles from the aircraft in January.
EPAWSS provides advanced electromagnetic capabilities that “protect pilots and help them maintain air superiority during their toughest missions”. EPAWSS, combined with the AIM-120D/C3, also proves that the F-15EX can “get into the middle of a fight and cause massive issues for our adversaries”, claimed Capt Max Denbin, USAF lead test engineer.
“EPAWSS gives aircrews many more options when fighting through contested airspace and enables other stealth assets in a force package -like an F22, F35, or other futuristic penetrating assets- to more efficiently neutralize threats.”
AN/ALQ-250 is an integrated all-digital system leveraging Gallium Nitride (GaN), it provides offensive and defensive digital EW capabilities including jamming and geolocation. The USAF currently plans to buy EPAWSS for 217 F-15Es, along with all the F-15EXs. The USAF intends to arm the F-15EX with up to 12 AMRAAMs or other large ordnance.
...sees BAE Systems’ new AN/ALQ-250 EPAWSS as not only potentially surpassing funding for similar but older-generation F-35 EW systems, but also providing the F-15EX with a more modern and capable integrated EW capability than the F-35.
