The AN/APG-63(V)1 radar is a reliability/maintainability upgrade including state-of-the-art hardware with significant growth opportunities.

As part of a radar retrofit program for the U.S. Air Force, the APG-63(V)1 is being produced to replace outmoded APG-63 radars installed in F-15 C/D aircraft models. Raytheon is supplying radar and spare systems, data requirements, program management, and test equipment to support this retrofit program.

Raytheon has received five production orders to deliver 161 APG-63(V)1 radar systems plus spares to the US Air Force. Raytheon is also on contract to deliver 40 radar systems and spares to Korea. Production deliveries are scheduled through November 2005 at a maximum rate of five systems per month.
