History has proven time and again that an aerial platform can become virtually immortal if its architecture allows it to be constantly reborn.
One such platform is the F-15EX Eagle II, which Boeing calls nothing less than a “digital pathfinder” for NGAD fighters. After all, the solutions honed on it in the field of software architecture, digital design and integration of new systems will become the basis for the sixth-generation of US fighters!
Today we’ll be finding out whether the evolution in Eagle II is a logical end to the F-15 life cycle or whether we are indeed witnessing the birth of a new paradigm where older aircraft will be able to compete even with the latest unmanned systems?
