Boeing Rolls Out 1st F-15SG For Singapore

Super Eagle Variant Includes AESA Radar Suite

Boeing rolled out the first F-15SG jet fighter this week to the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF). The F-15SG is a variant of the F-15E Super Eagle.

"The rollout of F-15SG1, on schedule, demonstrates that we're off to a great start as the RSAF builds to a procurement of 24 F-15SG aircraft," said Mark Bass, Boeing F-15 Program vice president. "The F-15SG has significant capabilities that will allow the RSAF to expand into new missions with new capabilities and to operate in the sophisticated Singapore defense environment for decades to come."

Boeing says the capabilities of the F-15SG are a blend of speed, power and agility -- a combination that makes the aircraft the ultimate multirole fighter, versatile in all missions.

"The F-15SG for Singapore moves the RSAF into the next generation of fighter aircraft capability," said Dan Korte, Boeing vice president and general manager for Global Strike Systems. "We are proud that the F-15 Eagle's proven legacy and Boeing's expertise in multirole fighter aircraft continue in the capable hands of the RSAF."

The F-15SG's integrated sensor suite, which includes an Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar and a third-generation SNIPER targeting pod, will provide the RSAF with long-range air-to-air and air-to-ground capabilities.

F-15SG1 successfully completed its first flight from Lambert International Airport in St. Louis on September 16. The aircraft now will undergo a one-year flight test program to confirm aircraft performance.

Flight testing will take place at Boeing facilities in St. Louis and in Palmdale, CA. F-15SG production deliveries will begin in the second quarter of 2009. The final aircraft in this procurement will be delivered to the RSAF in 2012.

More than 1,500 F-15 aircraft have been delivered and are in service with the US Air Force, Republic of Korea Air Force, Israeli Air Force and Royal Saudi Air Force.
