U.S. firm Raytheon said Wednesday it has started work on its ASEA radar for an F-15C upgrade program.
"In a program funded by a $52.2 million Boeing contract, Raytheon will deliver six APG-63(V)3 AESA systems and a spare to the Air National Guard as part of its F-15C upgrade program. Raytheon will deliver an additional system to the U.S. Air Force," the company said in a statement.
"A significant part of the contract also includes production start-up costs as well as manufacturing equipment and other spares. Six or more systems are expected to be delivered annually to the Guard in coming years for a planned total of at least 48," Raytheon said.
"The contract ensures our war fighters get what they deserve, which is the very best technology to ensure they can complete their missions and return home safely," said Ramon Estrada, director of F-15 AESA radar programs for Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems.
"The significant technology advancements of the F-15 APG-63(V)3 AESA radar allow Air Force and Air National Guard units to maintain their operational edge. This radar also provides revolutionary capabilities increasing the combat capability of the F-15 platform for the coming decades," Estrada said
"The contract award follows the successful completion of the flight test program with Boeing and the Air Force, which subjected the radar to rigorous developmental and operational testing and evaluation," Raytheon said.
"Air Force F-15s became operational with the world's first tactical AESA radar systems in December 2000. Raytheon has been a partner on the F-15 for more than 35 years," the company said.
"Raytheon's newest AESA radar system offers unparalleled targeting, tracking and situational awareness capabilities that will provide the Air Force and Air National Guard true force multiplication," Estrada said. "From takeoff to landing, this is a system Air Force and Air National Guard pilots can trust time and again."
Raytheon said its Space and Airborne Systems unit is "a leading provider of sensor systems giving military forces the most accurate and timely actionable intelligence available for the network-centric battlefield." |

Corporations like Boeing, Raytheon, Halliburton, Lockheed Martin, Exxon, General Dynamics, General Electric really are great “tyrannical terrorists” who regularly destroy lives and livable ecology (as with global warming), undermine democracy, generate poverty and concentrate wealth and power at home and abroad.
The broad populace of the West really is largely enslaved to the cancerous and authoritarian nightmare that is the profit-addicted, privileged-serving, human and environment-assaulting capitalist system.
And that system really is “turn[ing] the entire world into a fiefdom of the major corporations under the label of ‘globalization’ in order to protect democracy.”
All of that and much more is all too tragically true, sad to say – something that is well understood by much if not most of the morally and politically cognizant human race. And for what it’s worth, that understanding is deeply consistent with the world’s leading religious traditions (Islam included), all of which have always contained strong ethical objections to the savage wealth/class inequality, economic exploitation and narcissistic commercialism that lay at the dark heart of the deadly bourgeois mode of production, exchange, governance, and “life.” |

" The "Great Circle of Crisis": Britain's War Plan Against the American System
12 Nov 2007
November 12, 2007 (LPAC)—The following article by EIR reporter Jeffrey Steinberg will appear in a November issue of Executive Intelligence Review magazine, entitled, "Will British `Great Game' Ploy Trigger World War III?"
At no point, since the end of World War II, have so many regions of the world been swept up in chaos, asymmetric warfare, and economic disintegration, as at the present moment. Coming at a time when the global financial system has also already collapsed, this combination of seemingly isolated, ``regional'' conflicts and destabilizations represents nothing less than a growing threat of a global, asymmetric World War III.
- The Mirror of History -
Popular myth has it that World War I came about as the result of a seemingly isolated event: the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo. However, then as now, it was British geopolitical machinations that brought the world to the brink of general war--before the shots were fired in the Balkan capital.
It was Britain's King Edward VII, formerly the long-reigning Crown Prince Edward Albert, who was the architect of the late 19th- and early 20th-Century events that ultimately boiled over into World War I. Edward's overriding geopolitical goal was to quash the spread of the American System across Eurasia and Africa.----"
