for the U.S. Air Force F-15 fleet
Electronic Systems
Eagle Passive Active Warning
Survivability System
An integrated all-digital system, EPAWSS provides
advanced aircraft protection and significantly improved
situational awareness to protect F-15C and F-15E
aircraft. Equipped with offensive and defensive
electronic warfare options, fully integrated radar
warning, geo-location and increased chaff and flare
capability, EPAWSS detects and defeats surface and
LRU 1 airborne threats in signal-dense contested and highly
contested environments.
How it works
The EPAWSS system collects and processes
electromagnetic energy to instantaneously capture
a 360-degree aerial field of view to provide a
LRU 2 comprehensive picture of the battlespace. This gives
the pilot maximum situational awareness, helping
to identify, monitor, analyze, and rapidly respond to
Features potential threats. Using advanced avionics and sensors,
• Leverages digital electronic warfare technology from fifth- the system takes this a step further by detecting and
generation fighter aircraft geo-locating electronic emitters to give pilots the
• Offensive and defensive digital electronic warfare capabilities option to evade, engage, counter or jam threats.
Benefits
• Integrates radar warning and countermeasures into one system
• Faster countermeasures response
• Increased situational awareness
• Improved reliability
• Reduces F-15 electronic warfare footprint
• 50% more chaff and flares than aircraft today
• Ability to identify and counter future threats
• Allows F-15 to work cooperatively with other
U.S. Air Force aircraft
