The upgrades will introduce new active electronically scanned array (AESA) radars, digital electronic warfare and weapon systems to the F-15J. It will also receive an advanced cockpit system and mission computer, which will provide greater situational awareness to Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) pilots.

.. . .

Upgrade work is scheduled to begin in 2022, with 98 aircraft expected to undergo the process. In the meantime, MHI will develop a modification plan and prepare its workforce and facilities prior to accepting its first fighters.
