Boeing is planning a major fleet-wide overhaul of all combat coded F-15Cs, and the upgrade is called “2040C” or “Advanced F-15,” and will incorporate both new and old technology from the Silent Eagle program. For starters, the Advanced F-15 will boast “quad packs” which fit onto standard under-wing and belly hard-points, doubling its current air-to-air loadout to 16 missiles. It will also feature the Talon HATE communications pod, enabling the aircraft to transfer and receive data from F-22s operating alongside Eagles in combat theaters on a secured high-speed link. Inside, Multifunction displays (MFDs) and gauges will be replaced with a large area display (LAD), similar to those found in F-35 Lightning IIs.
