U.S. Air Force Transitions F-15C Raytheon AESA Radar-Equipped Aircraft to Japan

Installation and acceptance testing of Raytheon Company's RTN APG-63(V)3 Active Electronically Scanned Array radar on 10 U.S. Air Force F-15C aircraft is now complete. Four of these aircraft recently transitioned from Langley Air Force Base, Va. to Kadena Air Base, Japan. "This advanced radar technology upgrade brings a robust and affordable high-performance AESA to the F-15C air-to-air variant," said Steve Schwarzkopf, director and general manager, Raytheon F-15 programs. "The U.S. Air Force aircraft equipped with the APG-63(V)3 radar will continue to protect the warfighter at home and abroad."
