# Air Force Seeks F-15EX Missile Warning System

On September 29, 2026, the U.S. Air Force issued a request for information seeking a missile-warning system for the F-15EX. The system is intended to detect infrared-guided missile threats, use the aircraft’s six existing sensor locations, and limit false alarms that could distract pilots. The RFI gives contractors an opportunity to inform requirements; the signal specifies no response deadline, funding estimate, or procurement contact and does not indicate an award decision.

- Companies with relevant missile-warning technology can assess whether their systems fit the six existing sensor locations and can minimize distracting false alarms, then use the RFI to provide input on requirements.
- Procurement teams should treat this as market research and requirements shaping, not a funded solicitation or contract award; no submission deadline or budget is identified.
