Content: “More than 1,500 F-15s are in service worldwide.” The Republic of Korea has ordered Raytheon AIM-120 AMRAAM and AIM-9X Sidewinder air-to-air missiles and Boeing SLAM-ER stand-off land attack missiles for the new aircraft. First flight of a SLAM-ER, which has a range of 278km (150nm), onboard an F-15E took place in February 2004. In 2010, the Republic of Korea Air Force also plans to procure AGM-158 joint air-to-surface stand-off missiles (JASSM). Cockpit
While F-15A/C aircraft are single-crew aircraft, F-15B/D/E have a crew of two. The F-15E Strike Eagle is crewed by the pilot and the weapon systems officer (WSO). The WSO is equipped with two Sperry full-color and two Kaiser single-color cathode ray tubes. The WSO can access information from the radar, electronic warfare or infrared sensors, and monitor aircraft or weapons status and possible threats. The WSO also selects targets and navigates with the aid of a moving map display, produced by an AlliedSignal remote film strip reader. The pilot’s crew station features one full-colour and two single-colour cathode ray tubes.
