Description:
The APG-63 radar system combines long range acquisition and attack capabilities with automatic features to provide the instant information and computations required during air-to-air and air-to-surface engagements. It was the first airborne radar system to incorporate software programmable signal processor. That means APG-63s software can be upgraded without replacing the hardware.
APG-63 radars are installed on F-15A/B and early F-15C/D aircraft.
About 700 APG-63 radar systems remains in service with F-15 Eagles operated by the United States, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Japan.
