Israeli F-15C Pit

[+Dave 2,322]

"IDF/AF F-15C/Ds do not have the Electronic Warfare Warning Set (EWWS) or the Tactical Electronic Warfare System (TEWS) that had been provided on the USAF version, since these items were considered too sensitive for export."

 

So then what does the IDF F-15C pit look like if it doesn't have the EEWS/TEWS.

Maybe they developed their own systems ?

If I'm not mistaken, the F-15 eww display is shown on an MFD. So the pit would look identical, just without the eww page to pull up for display. (I'm going off the old Janes F15 pit, don't know what model that simulated).

Well here is what I came up with. In the black and white photo there is no TEWS, so could that be what it looks like? The color one obviously is the one with TEWS.

Hm...

Can it be one of the prototypes... or NASA birds?

When Israel received some A and B models as part of Peace Fox V, all "USAF equipment that was not IDF/AF compliant" was removed and "Baz avionics, communication equipment and EW systems were fitted in their place". (Aloni, p.76) Regarding the EW systems, a picture on page 73 shows Baz 541 Hook (F-15C delivered as part of Peace Fox III) with an AN/ALQ-131 pod on the centerline station. The caption reads "Unlike the Raam, [...] the Baz had, and still has, an internally-mounted passive EW system, but has to rely on podded EW equipment." So I guess there was an Israeli-made EWWS in place.

So what are those gauges in place of the TEWS? Does that represent what a Baz pit looks like?

I have a F-15C Baz cockpit photo.... just have to find it

what the IDF hasnt got was mainly the jammer stuff of the TWES, the RWR "screen" was the same as on US kites... iirc.

In the 1985 delivered MSIP C and D 's for sure.

Ok, if it does have the screen where the TEWS would be, I take it the symbology would be different? Or the screen was just a RWR?

I'd say early (read: pre Baz Meshopar) versions had RWR only.
