Boeing wins EPAWSS contract
The US Air Force has selected Boeing as prime contractor for its Eagle Passive Active Warning Survivability System (EPAWSS) electronic warfare suite, the company announced on 1 October.
The EPAWSS programme, which is valued at around $4 billion, will upgrade existing EW systems on F-15 aircraft to enhance aircrew protection.
The threat detection system will replace the Tactical Electronic Warfare System (TEWS), and will be installed on over 400 F-15Cs and F-15Es.
The company has subcontract BAE Systems for the development of EPAWSS.
Lt. Col. James Parslow, US Air Force F-15 EPAWSS program manager, fighter/bombers directorate, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, said: ‘As we look at future threats, enhanced electronic warfare is more essential than ever to improve overall survivability. We look forward to adding this next-generation capability to enhance the air superiority mission of the F-15.’
Mike Gibbons, vice president, Global Strike Boeing F-15 programs, said: ‘Warfighters of today and tomorrow need the latest in jamming, targeting, infrared threat detection and enhanced decoy capabilities. EPAWSS will ensure the F-15 is relevant and dominant through 2040 and beyond.’
