How the AWACS Keeps Us Safe

The E-3 Sentry is a modified Boeing 707/320 commercial airframe with a rotating radar dome. AWACS is equipped with an integrated command and control battle management, or C2BM, surveillance, target detection, and tracking platform. The aircraft provides the Joint Air Operations Center with an accurate, real-time picture of the battlespace. Over the next four decades, the E-3 has played a vital role in almost every military conflict due to the aircraft being flown by both the US Air Force and NATO Alliance Forces. As Ukraine reclaims land in its conflict with the invading Russians, it is evident that western information, notably the comprehensive image provided by the AWACS, has been a crucial factor in their victory. The Air Force in April 2022 chose the Boeing-made Wedgetail to be its next battle management and command and control aircraft, replacing part of its aging E-3 Airborne Warning and Control fleet.

Anyone after Netflix mh370 documentary?

[hampusj]

Spotted one of these on FlightRadar couple weeks ago flying over the Baltic Sea had to find out what it was

[risaacpadilla]

Moreover, the Boing 707 was one the most reliable and beautiful planes ever built in the World.

I drew my own version of an AWACS, but for space combat.

0:53 « commanders » with the rank of sergeant clipart. Come on!😂

[WhatAreColors]

but what happens if the plane is attacked?

[delboyd]

considering the considerable and impressive cost and military value of such a powerful and tactical command centre or eyes in the sky, would surely be never used to attempt the capture and search and destroy of a uap in 2016 above pentrych as they say when i was a nipper " we know what your doing !!!"

[L_e_o]

I wonder if personnel inside have any kind of increased risk of cancer with that kind of proximity to high powered radio waves

[AllDay]

JetZero's BWB should take on the AWACS role

[MilanBezMapy]

[ROCKSWOT]

Can AWAC detect and analyse other radars?

[tajnizamshakeel]

[mdtareq]

Bangladesh air force needs to this awacsy aircraft for reconniance of India and Myanmar territory🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🪖🪖🪖✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

[EricPham-grpg]

Should we change radar design so that can put it underneath the fuselage and foldable and hidden during landing and lift off ...if use inflatable material with donut on the rim of high current and supper LED and LIDAR cell that can handle both microwave and nanowave and high electrical power for antigravity with solid shield protect air craft personel

[elijahwells]

It’s cool to just be scrolling and find the plane I fly on. This plane is a POS lol
