The USAF decision to proceed with the development and fielding of the F-15E Dual Role Fighter presented a challenge to make this more complex and capable aircraft more reliable, maintainable, and deployable. This was complicated by the fact that the development had a budget cap that resulted in capability enhancements being challenged and leaving no extra funds for R a. M. This paper explores the approach used by the F-15 program to make R a. M gains and to reduce the mobility burden of this front line fighter. It documents the R a. M drivers, actions taken, and the initiatives pursued that resulted in meeting the objectives. The paper is a case study of how R a. M was, and is, being made coequal in the design process prior to, and now in compliance with, the R a. M 2000 program. The paper also documents some of the additional R a. M road map initiatives for the F-15E.
