	Strategic Affairs - Technology
		China's bid to acquire the Israeli Phalcon Airborne Early Warning system can be traced back to 1978, when the late Deng Xiao Peng initiated the "Four Modernisations" to attain world power status.
		Acquiring the Phalcon AEW (among other systems) therefore, was part of Beijing's broad strategy to meet the requirements of "limited war under hi-tech conditions".
		Such systems are force multipliers in modern day war, providing real time intelligence, airborne early warning and command and control, that enable an airforce to achieve and maintain air superiority over the combat area and to enable surveillance of borders in peacetime.

	Navy Matters \| Maritime Airborne Surveillance and Control
		In early April 2002 both Thales Avionics Group and BAE Systems were awarded by the DPA follow-on Phase II Concept Study contracts for the Maritime Airborne Surveillance and Control (MASC) programme.
		The airborne platform (a large UAV such as the Boeing A160 Hummingbird Warrior) would then be simply a flying sensor suite and data-link, resulting in considerable operating cost savings and an ability to fly higher than 10,000 feet without requiring a pressurised cabin.
		The Hawkeye's original primary mission was to provide organic long-range airborne early warning (AEW) and intercept control for the carrier battle group and its assigned air wing, operating in the open ocean environment and facing a massed air threat.

	Chinese Airborne Early Warning (AEW)
		The acquisition of an Airborne Early Warning (AEW) platform capable of conducting data relays has held a high priority in the PLAAF's efforts to modernize.
		China has tested an AEW radar rotodome on a TU-4 platform, but there is no indication that this unique aircraft is intended as a prototype for subsequent production.
		However, this airborne early warning program to mount the Israeli Phalcon airborne radar on a Russian airframe remains behind schedule, and evidently negotiations continue on the deal under which IAI would supply the advanced radar and computer systems.

	Why Australia Needs an Airborne Early Warning Capability
		The presence or absence of modern AEW platforms would have radically altered the flow of events - both in the Falklands and during the invasion of Lebanon, respectively.
		The AEW Sea King is a lash-up, though it may perform adequately, it's limited transit speed, endurance and radar range would enable it to cope only with a low density, low ECM threat level environment.
		In early June, 1982, Israel launched a massed armour attack into Southern Lebanon supported by scores of strike aircraft, the objective being the permanent removal of the PLO from Lebanon.

	Airborne Early Warning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many countries have their own AEW systems, although the E-3 Sentry and Grumman E-2C Hawkeye are the popular systems worldwide.
		The lack of AEW coverage for the task force was a major tactical shortcoming at the time.
		The most modern helicopter-based AEW is the AgustaWestland EH101 AEW of the Italian Navy.

	Early AEW Aircraft
		Facing with Kamikaze threat during 1944 the United States Navy started the development of an airborne radar system in order to expand the radar horizon under which the Fleet was to operate during the series of campaigns through the Philippines and northwards to Japan.
		Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) efforts in developing workable system led in February 1944 under Project Cadillac to a prototype system that was built and flown in August on a modified TBM Avenger torpedo bomber.
		Experience with the Guardian led to the development of an AEW variant of the Douglas Skyraider piston engined attack aircraft.

	The Hindu : National : Navy eyeing U.S. airborne early warning aircraft
		Keen on acquiring six all-weather Hawkeye E-2C Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) aircraft, the Navy has invited next week the United States defence firm Northrop Grumman, aircraft manufacturer, for initial aircraft carrier compatibility assessment.
		Although the Navy does not have the Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) capability, six Israeli Phalcon AWACS —; to be mounted on the Ilyushin-76 platform — are in the pipeline for the Air Force.
		Besides, the Defence Research and Development Organisation's (DRDO) Centre for Airborne Systems (CABS) is developing an indigenous airborne early warning system after the project was revived last year by the Cabinet Committee on Security.

	Early Warning Systems
		In numerous conflicts, airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft have proved the key to successful prosecution of both defensive and offensive air operations.
		Increasingly data links are being fielded on AEW aircraft to allow the air picture it collects to be shared with other aircraft, ships and ground-based command posts.
		One of the first new generation of AEW systems to win an export order was the Israeli Aircraft Industries’ (IAI)/Elta Phalcon phased-array radar, that was purchased by Chile in the early 1990s.

	NATO Handbook: NATO Airborne Early Warning Force (NAEWF)
		The NATO Airborne Early Warning Force was established following a NATO Defence Planning Committee decision in December 1978 to acquire a NATO-owned Airborne Early Warning air defence capability to provide air surveillance and command and control for all NATO commands.
		The NAEWF is a fully operational, multinational force consisting of two components: the E-3A component, which comprises 18 NATO E-3A aircraft and operates from a Main Operating Base (MOB) at Geilenkirchen in Germany, and the E-3D component which consists of seven UK-owned and operated E-3D aircraft based at RAF Waddington in the United Kingdom.
		The NAEWF provides an air surveillance and early warning capability which greatly enhances effective command and control of NATO forces by enabling data to be transmitted directly from Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft to command and control centres on land, sea or in the air.
