BAE Systems announced that it has received a contract from Boeing to produce additional Eagle Passive Active Warning Survivability Systems (EPAWSS) for U.S. F-15E and F-15EX Eagle aircraft – providing situational awareness and self-defense capabilities. This contract brings the total contract value for EPAWSS production to $351 million. The Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) lot 2 contracts will initiate the production of additional EPAWSS systems and spares and the delivery of units for test and development.

Under the contract, Boeing will continue to install EPAWSS on new F-15EXs and existing F-15Es – providing the jets with critical electromagnetic capabilities. LRIP lot 2 production follows BAE Systems' successful delivery of the new EPAWSS flight bundle software package, underscoring the company's ability to rapidly update EPAWSS in the field and quickly deliver new capabilities to address new threats. The company's test team has also demonstrated excellent radar-warning, geolocation, and countermeasure performance at large-force exercises, field demonstrations, and in laboratory settings where EPAWSS exceeded expectations in unique signal-dense environments.

In July 2022, after multiple successful test flights, exercises, and software updates, Boeing started EPAWSS modifications on two operational U.S. Air Force F-15Es. This achievement is a major milestone for the Air Force, Boeing, and BAE Systems, and significantly improves the survivability and combat effectiveness of the F-15 against advanced air defense systems in contested environments.
