AWACS Boeing E-3D Sentry at RAF Brize Norton | 2 Low Approaches 'SOLEX01' ZH106
Показать описание
ZH106 Boeing E-3D Sentry AWACS circling RAF Brize Norton with two low approaches.
The Royal Air Force E-3D Sentry flew its final operation sortie, Op Shader with 8 Squadron on the 30th July 2021 which had been deployed at RAF Akrotiri since 2015. The E-3D Sentry returned to RAF Waddington on the 4th August 2021.
It first entered RAF service in March 1991 as part of the RAF’s Intelligence, Surveillance, Targeting and Reconnaissance fleet. The Sentry is also known as the Airborne Warning Control System (AWACS).
It is under retirement is awaiting its replacement, the E-7 Wedgetail, which is due to enter service in 2023. This will operate from RAF Lossiemouth.
The E-3 Sentry is a modified Boeing 707/320 commercial airframe with a rotating radar dome. The dome is 30 feet (9.1 meters) in diameter, six feet (1.8 meters) thick, and is held 11 feet (3.33 meters) above the fuselage by two struts. It contains a radar subsystem that permits surveillance from the Earth's surface up into the stratosphere, over land or water. The radar has a range of more than 250 miles (375.5 kilometers). The radar combined with an identification friend or foe, or IFF, subsystem can look down to detect, identify and track enemy and friendly low-flying aircraft by eliminating ground clutter returns that confuse other radar systems.
Major subsystems in the E-3 are avionics, navigation, communications, sensors (radar and passive detection) and identification tools (IFF/SIF). The mission suite includes consoles that display computer-processed data in graphic and tabular format on video screens. Mission crew members perform surveillance, identification, weapons control, battle management and communications functions.
The radar and computer subsystems on the E-3 Sentry can gather and present broad and detailed battlefield information. This includes position and tracking information on enemy aircraft and ships, and location and status of friendly aircraft and naval vessels. The information can be sent to major command and control centers in rear areas or aboard ships. In time of crisis, this data can also be forwarded to the president and secretary of defense.
In support of air-to-ground operations, the Sentry can provide direct information needed for interdiction, reconnaissance, airlift and close-air support for friendly ground forces. It can also provide information for commanders of air operations to gain and maintain control of the air battle.
As an air defense system, E-3s can detect, identify and track airborne enemy forces far from the boundaries of the United States or NATO countries. It can direct fighter-interceptor aircraft to these enemy targets. Experience has proven that the E-3 Sentry can respond quickly and effectively to a crisis and support worldwide military deployment operations.
