The U.S. Department of Defense has awarded Boeing a $615.8 million contract to produce the AN/ALQ-250 Passive Active Warning Survivability System (EPAWSS) for the F-15EX Eagle II and retrofit existing F-15E Strike Eagles. EPAWSS enhances the F-15's self-defense capabilities by integrating radar warning, jamming, and countermeasures like chaff and flares. This system replaces older technology, improving response times and reliability while reducing weight. The new system allows the F-15 to better detect and respond to modern threats, enhancing its operational effectiveness in combat situations.
