Chapter 056 F-15C/DMSIP

Zhou Wenwen remembers the derivative model:

The F-15A, a single-seat air-to-air combat version of the F-15 fighter, equipped with the F-100-PW-100 engine and AN/APG-63 radar, first flew on July 27, 1972, and was delivered in November 1974.

After the mid-1990s, the F-15A began to be retired from the front-line troops and transferred to the Air National Guard.

The Air National Guard in six states is equipped with the F-15A. The F-15A/B are equipped with 7 air companies and 6 Air National Guard squadrons, as well as a squadron of the Israeli Air Force.

F-15B, the two-seat coach type of the F-15A, was originally called TF-15A, and later renamed F-15B. Its structural weight has increased by 363 kg, and it has the full combat capability of the F-15A, but does not have the AN/ALQ-135 electronic jamming equipment equipped with the A.

The main difference in appearance is the addition of a rear instructor seat.

The rear-seat instructor seat has full maneuverability, good visibility, and can perform any maneuver within the flight envelope, including take-off and landing.

Because the B-type is mainly used for training, the rear seat has no ability to control the avionics system and weapon equipment used for combat.

F-15A/BMSIP, a mid-life improvement program for the F-15A/B, started in the 1990s. Its main goal is to upgrade the F-15A/B to the F-C/D standard, including replacing the AN/APG-70 radar, installing new avionics, and replacing old analog computers with new digital computers.

F-15C, an improved single-seat air combat type based on the F-15A type. Its internal fuel capacity has increased by 1.116 tons, and it adopts an improved APG-63 radar, which can be equipped with conformal fuel tanks on both sides of the air intake.

In addition to loading 2.211 tons of JP-4 fuel, it can also be equipped with reconnaissance sensors, radar detection, jamming equipment, laser calibration devices, low-light TV equipment and reconnaissance cameras. The original model still used the F100-PW-100 engine, and later most of them were changed to the F100-PW-220. The maximum takeoff weight has been increased.

F-15D, the two-seat coach version of the F-15C. It also has all the combat capabilities of the C-type and a conformal fuel tank. The relationship is similar to the relationship between type B and type A.

F-15C/DMSIP, a mid-term improvement plan for the F-15C/D. Its avionics equipment has been fully upgraded, including: replacement radar, cockpit display, electronic warfare system and digital computer.

TF-15A, the second TF-15A modified two-seat dedicated fighter-bomber demonstration aircraft. He had McDonnell Douglas invest and develop it by himself to compete with the F-16XL (later renamed the F-16E) for the Air Force's F-111 successor plan, and developed the F-15E on this basis.

F-15E, F-15E "Strike Eagle" is a two-seat supersonic all-weather fighter-bomber designed by McDonnell-Douglas on the basis of F-15 with the main task of ground attack.

This is the F-111 successor aircraft developed and put into production according to the US Air Force plan in 1982. It has both ground attack and air superiority capabilities and is called a dual-mission fighter.

The aircraft is basically the same as the F-15D in appearance, the fuselage structure is strengthened, and the engine compartment, cockpit and part of the structure are redesigned, which increases the range by 33%.

Focus on improving avionics equipment, including replacing APG-70 radar and installing Blue Shield pods to ensure target discovery and identification and improve weapon firing accuracy. The original two-degree analog CAS has been improved to have automatic terrain following capabilities. Digital three-degree fly-by-wire flight control system and advanced electronic cockpit display system[, switch to ring laser gyro inertial navigation system, etc.

The weapon pylons have been doubled. In addition to the original pylons, there are 6 pylons beside each conformal fuel tank. The later engine is upgraded to F100-PW-229.

The F-15F F-15E single-seat plan prepared for Saudi Arabia is equipped with a new engine, radar and cockpit display equipment. Saudi Arabia originally planned to order 24 F-15Fs on the basis of 48 F-15S two-seat models, which were later changed to F-15S. The F-15F ultimately failed to enter production.

F-15SA, F-15SA is equipped with AN/APG-63(V)3 active phased array radar, advanced digital electronic warfare and radar warning suite, the latest cockpit display system, and can carry "Tiger Eye" ( TigerEyes) infrared search and track system.

Due to the addition of 2 outboard hardpoints (hardpoint 1 and hardpoint 9) under the wing of the aircraft, in order to compensate for the resulting reduction in combat flight stability, Boeing adopted a model-based Fly-by-wire (FBW) flight control system. The system also reduces the weight of the whole machine, improves the reliability of the flight control system, and also improves the dispatch rate of the aircraft.

F-15S/MTD, a short takeoff/precision landing technology demonstration aircraft modified by the US Air Force on the basis of the F-15B.

It adopts a three-wing layout and is equipped with a digital fly-by-wire flight control system. The engine is an F100-PW-220, but with a binary vector nozzle instead.

F-15XX, an air-controlling type developed on the basis of the F-15C. Emphasis has been placed on improving avionics and systems as a low-cost backup option for the F-22 program.

NF-15B, the F-15B modified by NASA, as a demonstration aircraft of active control technology, adopts a three-wing layout. It was directly modified from the F-15S/MTD verification machine, and was replaced with a newly developed axisymmetric thrust vectoring nozzle - this is the biggest difference between it and the F-15S/MTD in appearance.

RF-15, a special reconnaissance scheme for F-15, was not adopted due to the successful experiment of the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft, and the reconnaissance satellites were launched one after another, and only one verification aircraft was produced.

F-15/PDF, an air defense suppression scheme improved by the F-15C, with precision strike capability.

The F-15SG, the Singapore version of the F-15E, is equipped with advanced equipment such as active phased array radar, helmet-mounted display system, and high-precision targeting pods.

The F-15SE, the latest evolution of the partially stealthy F-15 fighter.

Service Dynamics, On July 9, 1981, Syria claimed that a MiG-25PD shot down an F-15 with two R-40s and the wreckage fell into the Mediterranean Sea.

In 1982, the Lebanon War, the Israeli Air Force shot down many Syrian Russian-made MiG-21s (reported numbers ranging from 80 to 92) and MiG-23s and a small number of MiG-25s, some of which were F -15 record.

But Russia also claims that the Syrian MiG-21 Bis also shot down an Israeli F-15A with an AA-8 Aphid air-to-air missile on August 6, 1982, but Israel claims that the F-15A 15 flew back to base with injuries and were repaired.

There are also Russian sources that in October 1983 three Israeli Air Force F-15s were shot down by Syrian Air Force MiG-23MLs.

In 1984, Royal Saudi Air Force F-15 fighter jets shot down two F-4s in skirmishes with Iran and two Iraqi Mirage F1s in the Gulf War.

September 13, 1985 ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ An F-15A of the 6512th Test Squadron of the United States took off from Edwards Air Force Base, jumped to an altitude of 24,384 meters, launched an anti-satellite missile (ASAT), and successfully destroyed it The P78-1 Gamma Spectrometer satellite was launched in February 1979 by the United States.

This is the 15th launch test of the F-15 anti-satellite program and the first live ammunition launch.

It was originally planned to deploy ASAT in the 48th and 318th Squadrons. The two squadrons have already received 3~4 modified F-15s, but due to the agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union on the prohibition of testing weapons in space, the plan was officially launched in 1986. Cancel.

In March 1990, an F-15 of the US 21st Mixed Wing accidentally fired an AIM-9M live ammunition during an air combat exercise, injuring another F-15.
