Boeing has begun low rate initial production (LRIP 2) for U.S. Air Force F-15E Radar Modernization Program (RMP). 10 APG-82(V)1 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar systems are being procured by USAF.

It had received Milestone C authorization for six systems under LRIP 1 in September 2011. Installation of the Raytheon-built AESA radar systems is scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2013.

The RMP APG-82(V)1 AESA radar will replace the F-15E strike fighter’s current APG-70 Mechanically Scanned Array radar. Other RMP elements include a wideband radome, modified environment control system, and modified radio frequency tunable filters, which allow the radar and electronic warfare system to operate simultaneously.
