보잉이 F-15K 업그레이드에 쓸 EPAWSS 전자전체계를 BAE시스템즈에 발주했네요. 혹시나 안 들어갈까 걱정했는데... ㅎㅎㅎ 

보잉, 한국 공군 F-15K 전자전 체계 공급사로 BAE 시스템스 선정

EPAWSS는 대한민국 방위사업청(DAPA)과의 대외군사판매(FMS) 계약에 따라 진행되는 F-15K 59대 현대화 사업의 핵심 요소이다.

EPAWSS는 조종사에게 360도 위협 탐지와 통합 대응 능력을 제공한다. 출처: BAE 시스템스.

보잉은 대한민국 공군의 F-15K 슬램 이글 전투기에 탑재될 이글 수동·능동 경보 생존성 체계(EPAWSS)를 공급하는 계약을 BAE 시스템스에 발주했다.

이번 계약은 대한민국 방위사업청(DAPA)과 함께 진행 중인 F-15K 전투기 59대 성능개량 사업의 일환이다.

EPAWSS는 복잡하고 밀집된 전자파 환경에서 공중 및 지상의 다양한 위협을 식별하고 대응할 수 있는 최신 전자전 체계를 F-15K에 제공하기 위해 개발되었다.

BAE 시스템스에 따르면 이 체계는 전자기 신호를 처리하여 레이더 경보와 위치정보를 제공하고, 자위 능력을 지원하며, 조종사에게 전방위적인 작전 상황 인식을 제공한다.

또한 EPAWSS는 무선주파수(RF) 위협을 신속하게 분석할 수 있으며, 정교한 방공망이 구축된 지역에서 승무원들이 보다 효과적으로 대응할 수 있는 능력을 제공하도록 설계되었다.

이 성능 향상은 강력한 적 방공망이 존재하는 공역으로 진입해야 하는 임무에서 생존성과 작전 효율성을 높이는 것을 목표로 한다.

BAE 시스템스 F-15 국제사업 책임자 필립 카살레뇨는 "우리는 보잉, 대한민국 공군, 그리고 지역 산업 파트너들과 긴밀히 협력해 F-15K 성능개량 사업에 가장 첨단적인 전자전 체계를 제공하고 있다. 우리의 목표는 지역의 안정과 안보를 지원하는 데 필요한 전자전 능력을 동맹국들에게 제공하는 것이다."라고 말했다.

이번 계약은 2024년 11월 미국 국무부가 한국의 F-15K 현대화 사업과 관련된 대외군사판매(FMS)를 승인한 이후 체결되었다.

당시 승인에는 AN/ALQ-250 EPAWSS 70세트, Advanced Display Core Processor II 컴퓨터 96대, AN/APG-82(v)1 AESA 레이더 70대, AN/AAR-57 미사일 경보체계 70세트 등이 포함되어 있었다.

AN/ALQ-250 EPAWSS는 현재 생산이 진행 중이며, 신규 생산되는 F-15EX 이글 II 전투기와 기존 F-15E 전투기의 성능개량 사업을 모두 지원하고 있다.

이 체계는 이미 실전 운용에 들어갔으며, 변화하는 위협에 대응하기 위해 소프트웨어와 펌웨어를 지속적으로 개량하고 있다.

생산은 BAE 시스템스의 뉴햄프셔주 내슈아와 텍사스주 오스틴 시설에서 이루어진다.

Boeing has awarded BAE Systems a contract to supply the Eagle Passive Active Warning Survivability System (EPAWSS) for Republic of Korea Air Force’s F-15K Slam Eagle fighter jets.

The agreement forms part of the ongoing initiative with the Republic of Korea’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) to update 59 F-15K aircraft.

The EPAWSS is intended to equip the F-15K fleet with a modern electronic warfare package able to identify and respond to a spectrum of air and ground threats within dense and complex signal environments.

According to BAE Systems, the system offers radar warning, geolocation data, and self-defence support by processing electromagnetic signals and providing pilots with an all-around operational view.

In addition, the EPAWSS is capable of quickly analysing radio frequency threats and is intended to give aircrews greater capability to respond effectively in areas with sophisticated air defence networks.

The enhancement aims to enable improved protection and operational effectiveness when missions require entry into heavily contested airspace.

BAE Systems F-15 international programme director Phillip Casalegno said: “We are working closely with Boeing, the ROKAF and regional industry teams to deliver the most technically advanced EW system for the F-15K aircraft upgrade. Our focus is on providing allies with EW capabilities needed to support regional stability and security.”

This contract comes after authorisation from the US State Department for a proposed foreign military sale linked to South Korea’s F-15K modernisation in November 2024.

That notification included approval for multiple systems, comprising 70 AN/ALQ-250 EPAWSS units, 96 Advanced Display Core Processor II computers, 70 AN/APG-82(v)1 AESA radars, and 70 AN/AAR-57 missile warning systems.

Production of the AN/ALQ-250 EPAWSS is underway, supporting both new-build F-15EX Eagle II jets and upgrades to F-15E models already in service.

The system has entered operational use and receives ongoing software and firmware revisions to maintain its relevance against evolving threats.

Manufacturing takes place at BAE Systems’ facilities in Nashua, New Hampshire and Austin, Texas.
