ASC making F-15E Strike Eagle more lethal weapon system

The Air Force's F-15E Strike Eagle is scheduled to receive a new core processor that will make the jet a more lethal and effective weapon system in the Global War on Terrorism and beyond.

The Aeronautical Systems Center's F-15 Systems Group at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, is managing the development, test and acquisition of the Advanced Display Core Processor that will enable F-15E aircraft to process data faster and carry more advanced weaponry.

The ADCP will replace and integrate the functions of the Strike Eagle's original 1988 computing technology, including the Multi-Purpose Display Processor and the Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Central Computer. The older processor and computer serve as the jet's brain, working in concert to process target data, maintain information in memory and enable target engagement with a variety of weapons.

"The Advanced Display Core Processor will improve the F-15E's system reliability and availability," said Mr. George Spencer, director of the F-15 Systems Group.
