operating manuals and maintenance 

technical orders containing performance 

information, operating and test 

procedures, and other information 

related to support operation and repair. 

The hardware, software, and data 

identified are classified to protect 

vulnerabilities, design, and performance 

parameters and other critical 

information. 

3. Pratt and Whitney F100–PW– 

229EEP or General Electric F110–GE– 

129 engines are afterburning turbofan jet 

engines that power the F–15 and deliver 

29,500 (P&W) and 29,100 (GE) lb (131 

kN) thrust respectively. 

4. AN/APG–82(V) 1 is an Active 

Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) 

radar upgrade for the F–15. It includes 

higher processor power, higher 

transmission power, more sensitive 

receiver electronics, and Synthetic 

Aperture Radar (SAR), which creates 

higher-resolution ground maps from a 

greater distance than existing 

mechanically scanned array radars (e.g., 

APG–68). The upgrade features an 

increase in detection range of air targets, 

increases in processing speed and 

memory, as well as significant 

improvements in all modes. 

5. The AN/ALQ–250 Eagle Passive 

Active Warning Survivability System 

(EPAWSS) includes fully integrated 

radar warning, geo-location, situational 

awareness, and advanced electronic 

countermeasures that can be employed 

passively or actively. It is an internally 

mounted suite. 

6. The Advanced Display Core

aircraft computer of the F–15. It serves 

as the hub for all aircraft subsystems 

and avionics data transfer. 

7. The Embedded GPS–INS (EGI) with 

Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing 

Module (SAASM) is a self-contained 

navigation system that provides the 

following: acceleration, velocity, 

position, attitude, platform azimuth, 

magnetic and true heading, altitude, 

body angular rates, time tags, and 

coordinated universal time (UTC) 

synchronized time. SAASM enables the 

GPS receiver access to the encrypted 

P(Y) signal providing protection against 

active spoofing attacks. 

8. The AN/AAQ–33 SNIPER 

Advanced Targeting Pod (ATP) targeting 

system is a multi-sensor, electro-optical 

targeting pod incorporating infrared, 

low-light television camera, laser range 

finder/target designator, and laser spot 

tracker. It is used to provide navigation 

and targeting for military aircraft in 

adverse weather and using precisionguided weapons such as laser-guided 

bombs. It also provides positive target 

identification, autonomous tracking, 

coordinate generation, and precise 

weapons guidance from extended 

standoff ranges. 

9. The AN/AAQ–13 LANTIRN is a 

navigation pod and provides high-speed 

penetration and precision attack 

assistance in all flying conditions. The 

pod uses a terrain-following radar and a 

fixed infrared sensor to display an 

image of the terrain in front of the 

aircraft on a heads-up display. 

10. The MS–110 Recce Pod is a NonProgram of Record electro-optic and 

infrared airborne reconnaissance system 

with long range, day/night, multispectral sensor technology. The multispectral sensor lets the end user see 

color and better distinguish subtle 

features that traditional gray-scale 

imagery cannot. The pod can transmit 

imagery via a datalink to groundstations for near-real time analysis and 

exploitation. 

11. The AN/ASG–34 Infrared Search

13. The Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing 

Systems (JHMCS) is a modified HGU– 

55/P helmet that incorporates a visorprojected Heads Up Display to cue 

weapons and aircraft sensors to air and 

ground targets. This system projects 

visual targeting and aircraft performance 

information on the back of the helmet’s 

visor, enabling the pilot to monitor this 

information without interrupting his 

field of view through the cockpit 

canopy. 

14. The AN/AVS–9 Night Vision 

Goggles (NVG) provide imagery 

sufficient for an aviator to complete 

night time missions in extreme low light 

conditions. 

15. The AN/ALE–47 CounterMeasures Dispensing System (CMDS) is 

an integrated, threat-adaptive, software 

programmable dispensing system 

capable of dispending chaff, flares, and 

active radio frequency expendables. The 

system is internally mounted and may 

be operated as a stand-alone system or 

may be integrated with other on-board 

electronic warfare and avionics systems. 

The AN/ALE–47 uses data received over 

the aircraft interfaces to assess the threat 

situation and to determine a response. 

16. The Joint Mission Planning 

System (JMPS) or equivalent is a multiplatform PC based mission planning 

system to support military aviation 

operations. 

17. The M61 20mm Vulcan Cannon is 

a six-barreled automatic cannon 

chambered in 20x120mm with a cyclic 

rate of fire from 2,500–6,000 shots per 

minute. This weapon is a hydraulically 

powered air cooled Gatling gun used to 

damage/destroy aerial targets, suppress/ 

incapacitate personnel targets and 

damage or destroy moving and 

stationary light material targets.
