AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System)

The Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) is a military aircraft equipped with advanced radar and communication systems. Its primary role is to detect and track enemy aircraft and provide command and control for friendly forces in the air and on the ground. By flying at high altitudes, AWACS can cover large areas, identify potential threats, and coordinate operations among various military assets. This system enhances situational awareness, allowing for better strategic decisions during missions, ultimately improving the effectiveness of air defense and operational efficiency.
