This includes the APG-63(V)3 AESA radar and Dual Band reconnaissance pod (DB-110) with SCI toolset for the Kingdom’s F-15 fleet, which provides superior situational awareness, alongside combat-proven effectors like the AMRAAM® air-to-air missile, the High-Speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM) and the Maverick missile. These integrated solutions ensure mission readiness and operational superiority for the Kingdom’s air defense.
