NATO AWACS Force

The NATO AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) Force consists of specially equipped aircraft that serve as flying radar stations. These aircraft, equipped with advanced radar and communication systems, monitor airspace for potential threats, track aircraft, and coordinate military responses. They provide real-time information to command centers and allied forces, enhancing situational awareness and early warning during operations or crises. The force is a key component of NATO's collective defense strategy, allowing rapid, coordinated responses to air or missile threats across member countries, effectively extending radar coverage and improving overall security.
