	A Quarter Century of AWACS
		AWACS can forward the location and track of friendly and adversary systems to users ranging from the individual pilot in a fighter cockpit to the White House Situation Room--at the same time.
		AWACS crews provided data used in more than 120,000 coalition sorties and played a major role in all but two of the coalition's 40 air-to-air kills of the Gulf War.
		AWACS, he said, was one of the most important of these new force multipliers, particularly when the aircraft operated in concert with the Joint STARS ground surveillance system.

	Airborne Warning and Control System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In air-to-air combat, AWACS systems can communicate with friendly aircraft, extend their sensor range and give them added stealth, since they no longer need their own active radar to detect threats.
		In Soviet service, the Beriev A-50 "Mainstay" is an AWACS conversion of the standard Ilyushin Il-76 "Candid" strategic airlifter.

	Indian AWACs threaten Pakistan air space (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The daily flying of IAF's Russian built AWACs to obtain a photo and video view of all activity in the air or on the ground to a depth of 300 KM is a very dangerous development and in fact a provocation in the prevailing volatile Pak-India relations.
		With the AWACs patrolling along the Pakistani air space, this essential element of surprise so vital for the success of air defence action and air interceptions is gone.
		With enhanced vigilance by CAPs whenever the IAF AWACs are snooping near sensitive areas or are in violation of air space, it is possible to force them to land.

	E-3 Sentry (AWACS)
		ESD was chosen to manage the AWACS because there had been a continuing migration of command, control and communications systems from ground to airborne platforms at the division which greatly broadened its scope and mission.
		AWACS was actually designed in the 1970's and was originally conceived as a system to aid European air defenses against incoming Russian bombers.
		AWACS personnel didn't receive helicopter flight schedules in Northern Iraq.

		If AWACS gives you a nearest bandit call, but reports "I don't have any targets" when you request nearest threat, then you are definately looking at strikers with no escorts.
		Not only do you have to listen to what the threats are, but you need to be aware of their relative position to your aircraft off the nose.
		If you are flying a heading of 350 degrees, and AWACS calls nearest bandit at 270 degrees, and nearest threat at 070 degrees, then you have strikers on your left wing, and fighters on your right wing.

	AWACS ATD
		The E-3 Sentry is a modified Boeing 707/320 commercial airframe with a rotating radar dome.
		When flying a surveillance mission, the AWACS operators attempt to monitor all of the airborne objects in a potentially large region.
		The tracker processes data in first-come-first-served order, and thus fails to process the later data received from a particular sensor once its track-processing capacity is exceeded.

	Boeing: Airborne Warning & Control System (AWACS) - benefits & military derivatives
		Like the E-3 AWACS, the 767 AWACS will prove itself to be a deterrent to aggression, as well as a force multiplier for air defense weapon systems.
		Also, because the 767 AWACS is interoperable with the AWACS fleet now in service, the program offers the U.S. and its allies a means to strengthen areas of regional instability through country-to-country cooperation, while at the same time reinforcing the surveillance capabilities of individual nations.
		Countries that select the 767 AWACS to meet their AEWandC needs also can take advantage of the opportunity to share resources such as overseas training and aircraft support, and the potential to share funding for future upgrade programs.

	AWACS to get BOSE Active Noise Reduction headsets (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The persistent noise AWACS aircrews are subjected to actually induces added fatigue on those “long-haul” missions that can last in upwards of 14 to 16 hours.
		The AWACS SPO was asked to review a report produced by the Air Mobility Battlelab, which conducted an extensive market survey and assessment of ANR headsets for Air Mobility Command aircrews.
		Since a spatial audio upgrade to the AWACS communications system would require the use of stereo headsets, it was obvious that there could be synergy in evaluating ANR and spatial audio as part of one project, he said.

	AWACS THAT FIGHT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The AWACS directs fighters toward enemy threats where fighters use onboard radar to shoot down enemy bogeys almost 100 miles away.
		Since the large AWACS is slow to turn, these missiles could be mounted on flat turrets beneath the aircraft so they can be aimed toward a target without turning the aircraft.
		A cruise missile guided by the AWACS would carry an AMRAAM missile warhead until the AMRAAMs internal radar detects a target, fires, and detaches from the cruise missile.

		GNU AWACS is a project aimed at giving you complete knowledge and control over anything that happens on your machine or within a network.
		The effectiveness of GNU AWACS is only limited by your imagination, but you do not need to have a complex configuration - if all you want is a simple tool to monitor some logfiles and devices like the GNU AWACS predecessor, the GNU Xlogmaster, it can also do this for you.
		At the moment, GNU AWACS is in a transition phase between the old layout and a new structure - so there is a lot of duplicate code right now which is the reason why I cannot supply a newer version at the moment (noone would be able to really work with the code).

	Pakistan Looking To Acquire FT-2000 "AWACS Killers" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		FT-2000 commonly known as "AWACS Killers", surface to air missile (SAM), designed by Chinese experts are considered to be the most appropriate option, if the USA refuses to provide the same kind of "AWACS" to Pakistan which are being sold to India by Israel under the approval of Washington.
		Pakistan and China are equally concerned over the India-Israel Phalcon deal concluded with Washington's acquiescence and are of the view that the transfer of AWACS technology to India would challenge the delicate conventional military equilibrium in South Asia, disturbing the no win situation which guarantees peace in the region.
		Indian clarification that it will use the Phalcons in only 'Kargil type of intrusions' has failed to assuage authorities in Beijing, who believe that the India-Israel-Russia Il-76-Phalcon deal is deleterious for regional peace as Phalcons are force-multipliers and would dramatically alter the conventional weapons balance in the region.
