AN/APG-82(V)

The AN/APG-82(V) is an airborne multi-mode radar system operating in the X-band (IEEE designation) or I-band (NATO designation), designed for the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle, where it replaces the AN/APG-70. This radar is intended for both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions, offering an instrumented range of 100 nautical miles (approximately 185 km). It integrates the AN/APG-79 processor with the Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) antenna of the AN/APG-63(V)3 and features a new cooling system. This plug-and-play system provides extended range, improved multi-target tracking, enhanced precision engagement capabilities, significant maintenance cost savings, and a twentyfold improvement in reliability compared to the F-15 Eagle’s legacy AN/APG-70 radar. The first aircraft equipped with the newly integrated Raytheon AN/APG-82(V) conducted its maiden flight on January 18, 2011.
