Deliveries of F-15 to Saudi Arabia.
F-15C 46 1978
F-15D 16 1978
F-15SA 84 2016-2020, 84 mod after 2020 with EPAWSS
I can not find the F-15C and F-15D in the Scamble database?

Re: F-15E EPAWSS
Chinese engineers have developed a new ultra-thin and compact antenna, designed to improve communications and navigation for next-generation fighter jets, while increasing the stealth of the aircraft by reducing their detectability by radar.
The innovation was detailed by the “South China Morning Post” and involves an antenna model that, at just 0.047 times the wavelength of low-frequency, has been adapted to the increasingly flat profile of the fighter jet.
The antenna has eight elements arranged in a circular array, allowing integration into the aircraft’s structure without affecting its aerodynamic performance or the frequency bands in which it operates. In addition, the new antenna improves the stealth of the fighter jet by minimizing its heat signature and making it more difficult to detect by radar.
The technology gives China a strategic advantage, especially in a context of growing political tension with the United States, where both countries are investing heavily in advanced military technology.
The new version of the antenna overcomes the limitations of the previous one, which was larger and only operated within a narrow frequency band. By rearranging the antenna elements in a circular array, engineers have managed to increase the operating range without increasing the size, preserving the aircraft's stealth.
The antenna is also omnidirectional, which optimizes communication, and has a short-circuit wall that improves electrical efficiency and makes it more difficult to detect by radar.

Re: F-15E EPAWSS
Boeing F-47
Although details of the project are still secret, the F-47 is expected to feature stealth technology, state-of-the-art sensors, and new high-performance engines.
Using of sensors from F-15EX, F-22, F-35 and JAS-39 possible, or development of some electronics.

Re: F-15E EPAWSS
An EPAWSS-equipped F-15E in San Antonio, Texas, where Boeing retrofits the Strike Eagle.
An updated version of EPAWSS is in the works, although not under USAF contract at this stage. (Boeing)
BAE Systems is working on a new version of its AN/ALQ-250 Eagle Passive Active Warning and Survivability System (EPAWSS), intended to equip US Air Force (USAF) Boeing F-15EXs.
The new version, called EPAWSSv2, which features an increase in the system's processing power, has been under development for two years. It is in the engineering, manufacturing, and development (EMD) phase, with critical design review – the last such review before prototype production – expected in April 2025.
The original EPAWSS, now being fielded on newbuild F-15EXs and retrofitted aboard F-15E Strike Eagles, can no longer be built due to diminishing manufacturing sources. Several components of EPAWSS are no longer being constructed, and BAE took the opportunity to upgrade the system's design.
EPAWSSv2 is not under contract, and not planned integration with the F-15 to Boeing.
EPAWSS, which entered service in 2023, replaced the F-15's Tactical Electronic Warfare Suite, which dates from the 1980s. The system is interoperable with the F-15's AN/APG-82 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar and both chaff and flares countermeasure systems.

Re: F-15E EPAWSS
Max Villman compare F-15EX and JAS-39E.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwujrQkE2TQ
He use FY 2024 Director, Operational Test & Evaluation (USA). He use the report who on are in English. Max Villman speek Swedish. Max standpoint is that JAS-39E is better than F-15EX.
JAS-39E use 42 sensors, and the signals are handled on a new way. Several LRU use the same signals, to get a better handling for the pilot. F-15EX have about 106 LRU, which is very much.
