Airborne Early Warning & Control

Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) refers to aircraft equipped with advanced radar and surveillance technology that detect and track other aircraft, ships, and missiles over large distances. These aircraft act as airborne command centers, providing real-time situational awareness to military forces, helping coordinate defenses, and extending the radar coverage beyond ground-based systems. AEW&C enhances the ability to anticipate threats, monitor large areas, and support strategic decision-making during military operations, ensuring a coordinated and timely response across a wide operational area.
