Program element Name: F-15E Squadrons
Mod # / Title: 1206 / F-15C Infrared Search and Track (IRST)
Recommendation Information
- Program/Activity Report language requested:
Multi-spectral search / track / target capabilities - Electronic Attack (EA) consistently out-paces Electronic Protection (EP) for radars. To combat EA, the F-15C/D requires passive sensors, such as IRST, that fuse with the APG-63(V)3 radar to enable effective targeting in radar jamming environments.
- RDT&E Budget Item Justification PB 2019 Air Force Exhibit P-3A currently states:
- The IRST system will provide the F-15C/Ds with the capability to detect and track objects by infrared radiation. The pod complements other on board sensors by scanning a large volume of air space and fills gaps left by other sensors. This capability complements the radar to enhance survivability and lethality against air-to-air threats, provides a passive infrared sensor system that searches for and detects infrared energy, and provides the aircraft mission computer track file data on infrared targets. The Air Force will procure 100 IRST pods for use in a rotatable pool for 235 Active and Guard F-15C/D aircraft.
