OVERVIEW

The F-15EX is a ready-now replacement for the F-15C that includes best-in-class payload, range and speed. Designed to deliver value to the U.S. Air Force, the F-15EX will be a backbone fighter for the service – not just today, but for the next several decades. Boeing engineers created hundreds of digital aircraft before cutting any metal, and flew thousands of hours before our first test flight. The result is an aircraft with a digital backbone, open system architecture and the capacity to carry hypersonic weapons, making it a key element of the U.S. Air Force’s tactical fighter fleet.

READY FOR THE MISSION

With next-generation technologies that provide improved survivability across a broad spectrum of environments, the complementary capabilities of F-15EX enable a more balanced force structure that will remain of current and emerging threats for decades.

Low-risk technology investments have enhanced the F-15EX’s maneuverability, acceleration, durability, computing power and weapons carriage to improve interoperability and strengthen deterrence via the inherent strength of a diversified portfolio.

Enhanced Survivability
Unrivaled Weapons Carriage
Superior Mission Management
Rapid Capability Insertion
Affordable Life Cycle Costs

ENHANCED SURVIVABILITY

With an advanced radar and sensors, F-15EX brings a fully integrated electronic warfare suite to provide a full spectrum of protection while enabling dominant engagement of new and emerging threats.
UNRIVALED WEAPONS CARRIAGE

Unrivaled weapons certification & payload permits the carriage of advanced weapons that cannot be carried in internal bays such as hypersonic weapons.
SUPERIOR MISSION MANAGEMENT

A 21st century cockpit provides real-time access to battlefield information and enhances the pilot’s understanding of the environment to reduce workload, speed decision-making and enhance mission management.
RAPID CAPABILITY INSERTION

F-15EX brings an Open Mission Systems architecture to enable rapid digital technology insertion for future growth and provide an open, secure architecture for maximum flexibility and interoperability.
AFFORDABLE LIFE CYCLE COSTS

Cost-effective in terms of operation and acquisition, F-15EX requires minimal retraining for pilots and maintainers, utilizes existing infrastructure and shares 90% of the same support equipment and ~80% of the same spare parts with current F-15s.

READY TO AFFORDABLY DELIVER

Units converting to F-15EX can transition within weeks or months, not years, of receiving new aircraft. These benefits, combined with the lowest cost per flight hour in its class, make F-15EX the total life cycle solution to meet U.S. Air Force capacity requirements.

READY FOR THE FUTURE U.S. AIR FORCE

Built on a digital thread, F-15EX serves as a pathfinder for the Department of Defense's DevSecOps initiative aimed at developing secure, flexible and agile software. F-15EX enables rapid technology insertion that ensures the platform's relevance for decades to come.
