EPAWSS is a defensive system designed to enhance the situational awareness of F-15 aircrews by providing countermeasures against radio frequency threats from both surface and airborne sources.  

The system aims to integrate and replace three components of the F-15’s legacy Tactical Electronic Warfare System. 

These are the AN/ALR-56C Radar Warning Receiver, the AN/ALQ-135 Internal Countermeasures Set, and the AN/ALE-45 Countermeasures Dispenser Set.  

Initially intended for the F-15C and F-15E aircraft models, EPAWSS now serves as the primary defensive suite for the F-15E Strike Eagle, a dual-role fighter capable of executing both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. 

In 2022, Boeing began integrating the electronic warfare system onto the first two F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft of the US Air Force as part of a broader modernisation programme.  

This upgrade is set to equip a total of 43 F-15E fighter aircraft with EPAWSS.
