Planned offering is further development of fighter ordered by
South Korea and includes active array radar.
Flight International 11-17 March 2003
The F-15T Eagle that Boeing plans to offer Singapore to meet its
new fighter requirement is a further development of the F-15K
ordered by South Korea. It also includes a proposed multimode
version of the Raytheon APG-63(V)3 active electronically scanned
array (AESA) radar now in the early stages of development for the
US Air Force.
Singapore plans to kick-start its fighter competition in May with
the release request for proposal to two or three pre-qualified
contenders. The F-15 faces the same challengers in Singapore as it
did in South Korea, with competition from newer design such as the
Dassualt Rafale and Eurofighter Typhoon. Boeing plans to offer a
more modern radar sensor and countermeasure suite.
the proposed F-15T's main addition will be the APG-63(V)3 radar,
which is unlike the (V)1 being retrofitted to the USAF's F-15C
fleet and planned for the F-15K, will feature an active array
antenna with tile transmit/receive modules. The 0.9m(3ft)-diameter
array is developed for Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, scaled up by
about one-third.
Raytheon is hoping to start APG-63(V)3 deliveries in late 2007,
which concides with Singapore's targeted service entry date. This,
however, is contingent on the USAF providing funding in 2004 for a
(V)3 follow-on upgrade to the (V)1, which for the last two years
has been supported by funding mandated by US Congress. The F-15T's
radar would include additional modes including an air-to-ground
capability
Otehr improvements would include removing the need for periodic
depot maintenance through improved system reliability and where
possible, moving to two level maintence. The weapons package could
include the new 225kg (500lb) JDAM GPS-guided bomband involve
clearing the out-board stations 1 and 9 for air-to-air missiles.
Singapore would have the choice of equipping the Fighter with the
Lockheed Martin Tiger Eyes targeting, navigation and infared
search-and-track pod select for the F-15K, or the Northrop Grumman
Litening II system already in Singaporean service.
the F-15T includes the choice of improved BAE Systems ALR-56C or
new Raytheon ALR-69A(V) radar warning receivers, a towed decoy,
likely to be either the BAE ALE-55 or Raytheon F0-50 fibre-optic
systems, the Northrop Grumman ALQ-139M jammer and Link 16 tactical
datalink.
Eingine options include either the F-15K's newly launched general
Electric F110-129 or Pratt & Whitney F100-229. Singapore would
have the choice of taking the fighter in the two-seat configuration
or optining for a single seater.
this article is interesting....damn.....much more
adv than SK eagle 
and can
choose etween single n 2 seater also n 1 n 9
