	Airborne Warning and Control System biography .ms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) is a radar-based electronic system designed to carry out airborne surveillance, and C3 (command, control and communications) functions for both tactical and air defence forces.
		The system is designed and built by Boeing (Defense and Space Group) using Northrop Grumman radar and flown on either the E-3 Sentry aircraft (Boeing 707) or more recently a modified Boeing 767.
		Systems integration and radar performance are considered to be marketedly inferior to the E-3.

	E-3 Sentry
		The E-3 Sentry is an airborne warning and control system (AWACS) aircraft that provides all-weather surveillance, command, control and communications needed by commanders of U.S., NATO and other allied air defense forces.
		As an air defense system, E-3s can detect, identify and track airborne enemy forces far from the boundaries of the United States or NATO countries.
		With its mobility as an airborne warning and control system, the Sentry has an greater chance of surviving in warfare than a fixed, ground-based radar system.

		The 962nd Airborne Early Warning and Control Squadron was first activated on July 8, 1955, as a unit of the 551st Airborne Early Warning and Control Wing, with headquarters at Otis AFB, Massachusetts.
		The 962nd Airborne Early Warning and Control Squadron participated in numerous operations to test the capability and readiness of the early warning system in order to extend radar coverage seaward beyond that provided by land radars.
		As an operational unit of the 551st Airborne Early Warning and Control Wing from 1955 to 1969, one of the 962's missions was to conduct search and rescue operations.

		Our systems engineering and analysis experts are also continuing to define and assess mission system improvements to support the Time Critical Target goals of the U.S. Air Force and Department of Defense.
		Systems engineers are also supporting Network Centric Collaborative Targeting capabilities, which involve a network of operational intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance sensors to improve detection, identification and location of time critical targets.
		MITRE AWACS systems and specialty engineers are exporting the valuable lessons they have learned to the emerging Multisensor Command and Control Aircraft, which in the future will be used for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance—eventually replacing AWACS, Joint STARS, and other platforms.

	Grumman E-2C Hawkeye
		The E-2C Hawkeye is the Navy's all-weather, carrier-based tactical warning and control system aircraft.
		The continuous improvements in early airborne radars by 1956 led to the concept of an airborne early warning and command and control aircraft.
		The E-1's successor, the E-2 Hawkeye, was the first carrier-based aircraft designed from the outset for the all-weather airborne early warning and command and control function.

		The air surveillance system can be used for both military and civilian purposes, such as helping coordinated relief flights after natural disasters.
		The airborne surveillance system together with existing round-based radars is expected to provide a more detailed picture, enabling PAF to detect multifarious threats.
		The system, which is used as a platform alone, would have cost between $60-70 million and the price tag would have increased considerably after adding the surveillance system.
