	E-8 Joint STARS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The E-8C Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS) is a United States Air Force airborne battle management and command and control (C2) platform that conducts ground surveillance to develop an understanding of the enemy situation and to support attack operations and targeting that contributes to the delay, disruption and destruction of enemy forces.
		Joint STARS developmental aircraft were also called to support the NATO peacekeeping mission, Operation Joint Endeavor, in December 1995.
		The E-8C Joint STARS routinely supports various taskings of the Combined Force Command Korea during the North Korean winter exercise cycle and for the United Nations enforcing resolutions on Iraq.

	E-8C Joint STARS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Joint STARS consists of an airborne platform--an E-8C aircraft with a multi-mode radar system--and U.S. Army mobile Ground Station Modules (GSMs).
		The Joint STARS aircraft was scheduled to begin its initial operational test and evaluation--referred to as the Joint STARS multi-service operational test and evaluation --in November 1995.
		Joint STARS failed to meet its maintainability criteria during an operation less demanding than combat, even with such significant contractor involvement beyond that planned for in combat.

	Col. Charles E. Miller (Ret.) on the Joint STARS on National Review Online
		The Joint STARS (Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System) was originally conceived during the Cold War.
		The E-8C Joint STARS aircraft is a Boeing 707 modified to carry a 26-foot-long, side-looking synthetic aperture radar.
		The U.S. Army has also developed ground stations to take advantage of Joint STARS capabilities, but the Afghanistan pattern says that these aircraft will first, and primarily, be used to target air strikes, and then to inform U.S. Special Forces of the ground situation as it affects anti-Taliban forces.

		However, even before the RC-7 was conceived, the US Army was already working with the US Air Force to develop a much more powerful surveillance asset that could provide military commanders with a "God's eye view" of an entire battle theater.
		Joint-STARS is also fitted with a "Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS)" datalinks, used to relay targeting and other data to strike aircraft, as well as to communicate with an "Airborne Warning And Control Systems (AWACS)" aircraft, presumably an E-3 Sentry, cooperating with Joint-STARS to control the battle.
		A simplified "man-portable" Joint-STARS terminal, the "Joint Services Work Station (JSWS)" is also in use with the USAF and the US Navy.

		The ETE Test was designed to evaluate the utility of advanced distributed simulation (ADS), including distributed interactive simulation (DIS), for both developmental and operational test and evaluation of command, control, communications, computers and intelligence (C4I) systems.
		The ETE Test consisted of four phases: (1) development of the synthetic environment, (2) developmental and operational testing in the laboratory, (3) transition to the prime mission equipment(aircraft, and (4) two live test missions using ADS to populate the battlespace with thousands of threat vehicles and then link friendly C4I/weapon system co-actors.
		The C4I system used in the ETE Test was a Northrop Grumman E- 8C Joint Surveiliance Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS).

		Better known as “Joint STARS,” the Air Force E-8C platforms identify and process data on ground-based threats and targets across the breadth and depth of the battlefield, complementing the Apache Longbow fire control radar picture of the close-in battle.
		Having proven the potential of the system on the Joint STARS platform, the Electronic Systems Center began the process of awarding a Spiral Development contract to integrate the new modem on the E8-C. Spiral Development is a concept outlined in the fall of 1996 by the commander of Electronic Systems Center, Lt. Gen.
		Initial operational capability was declared for the Joint STARS system in December, shortly after the third production version of the E-8C was delivered to the 93rd Air Control Wing at Robins AFB, Ga.

		This approach requires a change in Joint and Air Force doctrine acknowledging the supported role that US Air Forces have performed against enemy fielded forces over the last decade.
		The Joint Staff has also recently asked whether this option should be pursued.

		Current C2 and ISR aircraft are primarily based on the aging Boeing 707/C-135 and C-130 aircraft.
		Sustaining the E-3 AWACS, E-8C Joint STARS, variants of the RC-135, EC-130, Compass Call, and EC-130 ABCCC, are costly due to decreasing reliability and maintainability, vanishing vendor items, and aging airframes.
