F-15EX
More Capability. More Capacity. More Savings.
OVERVIEW
In support of the National Defense Strategy, the United States Air Force must purchase 72 combat aircraft per year. The best way to preserve this fighter capacity while advancing the Air Force’s capability is to acquire Boeing’s cost-effective F-15EX.

READY FOR THE MISSION
With next-generation technologies that provide improved survivability across a broad spectrum of environments, the complementary capabilities of F-15EX enable a more balanced force structure that will remain of current and emerging threats for decades.
Low-risk technology investments have enhanced the multi-mission F-15EX’s maneuverability, acceleration, durability, computing power and weapons carriage to improve interoperability and strengthen deterrence via the inherent strength of a diversified portfolio.
- Unrivaled Weapons Carriage
- Enhanced Survivability
- Superior Mission Management
- Rapid Capability Insertion
- Affordable Life Cycle Costs
-
UNRIVALED WEAPONS CARRIAGE
Unrivaled weapons certification & payload permits the carriage of advanced weapons that cannot be carried in internal bays such as hypersonic weapons.
-
ENHANCED SURVIVABILITY
With an advanced radar and sensors, F-15EX brings a fully integrated electronic warfare suite to provide a full spectrum of protection while enabling dominant engagement of new and emerging threats.
-
SUPERIOR MISSION MANAGEMENT
A 21st century cockpit provides real-time access to battlefield information and enhances the pilot’s understanding of the environment to reduce workload, speed decision-making and enhance mission management.
-
RAPID CAPABILITY INSERTION
F-15EX brings an Open Mission Systems architecture to enable rapid digital technology insertion for future growth and provide an open, secure architecture for maximum flexibility and interoperability.
-
AFFORDABLE LIFE CYCLE COSTS
Cost-effective in terms of operation and acquisition, F-15EX requires minimal retraining for pilots and maintainers, utilizes existing infrastructure and shares 90% of the same support equipment and ~80% of the same spare parts with current F-15s.
READY TO AFFORDABLY DELIVER
F-15EX requires no new logistics chains, training squadrons, infrastructure modification, program offices or even weapons integration. Units converting to F-15EX can transition within weeks or months, not years, of receiving new aircraft. These benefits, combined with the lowest cost per flight hour in its class, make F-15EX the total life cycle solution to meet U.S. Air Force capacity requirements.
READY FOR THE FUTURE U.S. AIR FORCE
Built on a digital thread, F-15EX serves as a pathfinder for the Department of Defense’s DevSecOps initiative aimed at developing secure, flexible and agile software. F-15EX enables rapid technology insertion that ensures the platform’s relevance for decades to come. This is accomplished by:
- An Open Missions Systems Architecture delivering Advanced Battle Management Systems (ABMS) capabilities, allowing F-15EX to operate independently while isolated and reconnect to the global cloud when conditions permit.
- Boeing’s advanced manufacturing will provide software-automated tools, services and standards that enable programs to develop, secure, deploy and operate applications is a secure but flexible and interoperable way.
