The aircraft also get automatic flight control system fly-by-wire. “Fly-by-wire means the pilot to provide input to the computer and does not directly control the aircraft that will be faster and more secure than using the control stick,” Gibbons explained.
Along with weapon upgrades and other modifications, the F-15 also get upgraded digital pilot’s helmet and some ability to reduce radar detection.
However, at the same time, the F-15 stealth aircraft and still not expected to be used in a combat environment that is not overly filled with sophisticated anti-aircraft defense system.
For this reason, the F-15 will also be enhanced in the network system so that it gets better support from the fifth-generation platforms such as the F-22 and F-35.
In other words, the F-15 upgrade to effectively carry out missions assigned to the fleet of F-15, which is supported by the F-22 to provide air superiority and F-35 in providing precision attack capability.
“Although the upgrade will not make this plane is equivalent to fighter aircraft 5th generation, they will allow the F-15 to support a jet fighter 5th generation carry out their mission, and also will allow the F-15’s are on a mission in the neighborhood more permissive in which the fifth-generation capability is not required, “added Leese.
Upgrade F-15 will also ensure that the fighter aircraft remains superior to the class belongs to China.
“F-15 as an important platform still has the ability that can not be matched in terms of ability to fly high, fly fast, go far to bring a lot. It is the engine of air dominance, “said Gibbons.
