The US Air Force sends new F-15EX fighters to Alaska to attack the enemy
The 53rd Wing said in a statement that the first two F-15EX fighters – both 001 and 002 – have taken to the Alaska skies for Northern Edge 21 joint training exercise.
The purpose of the F-15EX’s participation in Northern Edge is to allow for immediate deep-end testing in a complex jamming environment to gather essential test data for what works and what needs improvement. This is critical to expose the F-15EX to this environment now to make changes early on and allow for an aggressive test and fielding timeline.
“At Northern Edge we’re assessing how the F-15EX can perform in a jamming environment, to include GPS, radar, and Link 16 jamming,” said Maj. Aaron Eshkenazi, F-15EX pilot, 85th Test and Evaluation Squadron. “The other main goal is assessing the EX’s interoperability with fourth and fifth-generation assets. With more than 60 aircraft airborne during every Vul (vulnerability period – the period of time when an aircraft is vulnerable to harm) at Northern Edge, we’re putting the jet in the role it will perform in once it’s fielded, and seeing how it does. So far, it’s been performing really well.”
