KF-16 ROKAF Fighter Jet Program
Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) is a joint venture formed between Korea's three leading aircraft manufacturers - Samsung Aerospace, Daewoo heavy Industries, and Hyundai space and Aircraft. The KF-16 is a local designation for the F-16C/D model of the Fighting Falcon. The RoKAF was the primary foreign operator of that model.

The project, the most important ever undertaken by the Korean aviation industry, manufactured 120 fighters in its firstpart in 2002 and an additional 20 aircraft in 2003. The Air Force said it could build big savings on maintenance since it had developed domestic technology to provide about 78 percent of the parts. The project upgraded Korea's aerospace industry, and also the acquired technology will facilitate them develop the T-50, a high-caliber trainer and light combat aircraft.

F-15K Slam Eagle Strike Fighter

F-15K Slam Eagle Strike FighterF-15K Slam Eagle Strike Fighter
The F-15K Slam Eagle (the Strike Eagle variant created for the Republic of Korea) is one of the most well strike fighters ever built. it has all the goods and gadgets the Strike Eagle has, and lots more. Boeing undoubtedly showed its best upon making this awesome jet, that looks nearly specifically like an 'ordinary' Strike Eagle.

The F-15K strike fighter is the newest variant of the combat-proven F-15E. it's equipped with the most recent technological upgrades, like the next-generation BAE Systems ALR-56C(V)1 radar warning receiver. The system to be integrated on the F-15K is an upgrade to the exisiting ALR-56C system for the F-15E. the entire integrated Tactical Electronic Warfare Suite (TEWS), also includes the BAE Systems ALE-47 Countermeasure Dispenser System, and also the ALQ-135 Internal Countermeasures System from Northrop Grumman.

The F-15K is fitted with a Raytheon AN/APG-63(v)1 radar, that was designed to switch APG-63 radars put in in early F-15 C/D models. This advanced radar incorporates the air-to-air and air-to-ground modes of the APG-70 radar, with extra sea-surface searching/tracking, ground-moving target tracking, and enhanced high-resolution ground mapping for long-distance target identification. It therefore performs better and reportedly provides a ten-fold improvement in reliability and maintainability.
