-Now that Singapore got their new SGs IAF can look forward to some DACT with MKIs and see how they compare.

-Yes, almost certain to be ECM related. There are a number of other unique bumps flanking the engine nozzles.http://www.mountainhome.af.mil/shared/media/photodb/photos/090518-F-2039L-%20102.jpg
Elta's salesmen have been busy. The same EW system is on F-16I.

-We're they delivered with the F100-229's or the original F110-129C's?
And wasn't there going to be an IRST?

Yep. You can see it just above the Sniper XR pod in this photo. It is the L-M long wave IRST designed for the F-14D, though probably updated...
Lockheed Martin calls the system "Tiger Eyes" and South Korea ordered it for it's F-15K's too.

-Funny thing.. This IRST is not what the USAF F-15's are being upgraded with.

-Actually, the sensor&procesor are the same; only the pod differs, on the USAF F 15 Cs it will be housed in a modified LANTIRN Pathfinder navigation pod: http://www.lockheedmartin.com/data/assets/mfc/Photos/MFC_IRST-ProductCard.pdf

-Development on the USAF F-15 IRST units has not even started yet. If it were just a pod change, they would not need the 4 years of development work that they have planned to start in 2010.

That is what Boeing is doing for the F/A-18E/F IRST installation. I haven't heard that they are doing the same for the Eagle.

To my understanding the pod will be installed under one of the intakes, in other words where the TGP of the F-15E is located. As C/Ds aren't wired yet this might be one of the reasons why it will take some time to integrate the system, next to the software wise integration. The F-15C's cockpit and avionics are very different from those of the F-15E and its even newer export variants.

-Isn't the field of view rather restricted if the IRST is place under the intake or center line, especially for close in ranges? Although most other locations for IRST's is near the nose cone section, I've wondered whether even this is restrictive. For example, as in the Mig-29, SU-30, Typhoon, where the IRST is located at the top of the nose section of the fuselage, that blocks the field of view for low level targets, and vice versa if the IRST is located on the underside of the nose for high level targets. Wouldn't the ideal be to have two smaller IRST's, one located on the underside and one on top, for complete forward hemisphere coverage?
