AWACS

AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) is a sophisticated aircraft equipped with advanced radar and surveillance technology. It acts as a flying command center, capable of detecting, tracking, and identifying multiple aircraft, ships, and other objects at great distances. AWACS provides real-time situational awareness to military commanders, coordinating and directing defensive or offensive operations. Operating typically from the air, these aircraft extend the surveillance range beyond ground-based radar, ensuring comprehensive battlefield awareness. Think of AWACS as a mobile, high-altitude radar station that enhances overall airspace security and tactical decision-making.
