	IAI Phalcon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The IAI Phalcon is an Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEWandC) radar system in use by a number of countries to give intelligence to maintain air superiority and conduct surveillance.

		Unfortunately, the $250 million job of retrofitting a Russian-manufactured Ilyushin 50 cargo aircraft to carry this sensitive "Phalcon" warning and command-and-control technology is not the first dubious sale of military equipment by the Jewish State to Communist China.
		Israel insists that all the elements of its Phalcon airborne command and control system are homegrown.
		That the Phalcon is a marvel of Israeli and not American technology, is, therefore, beside the point.

		The Phalcon system has attracted interest from a variety of countries, however, when China expressed an interest in mounting the radar system on a Russian-built Ilyushin/Beriev A-501 Mainstay in Jul 2000, the USA eventually blocked the sale.
		The highly advanced capabilities of the Phalcon system are centered on a data fusion procedure, which continuously correlates the data gathered by the radar, IFF, ESM/ELINT and COMINT sensors.
		The Phalcon system was first made public at the 1993 Paris Air Show, but so far only one fully functioning Phalcon system has been exported to Chile, where it equips the Fuerza Aerea de Chile and has been named 'Condor'.

		The decks were finally cleared for the supply of Phalcon AWACS to India with the visit of Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Silvan Shalom to New Delhi in February.
		A likely reason for the US resistance to the Phalcon deal with India was the prevailing high level of tension between the two unaccepted nuclear powers, India and Pakistan, coupled with the US's preoccupation with its war in Iraq.

	The Phalcon Sale to China: The Lessons for Israel, by Jonathan Adelman
		The Phalcon deal, begun in 1994 and finalized on Prime Minister Netanyahu's visit to Beijing in 1998, was in some ways meant to be the capstone of the economic and military relationship betweenthe two countries.
		In mid-February 2002, newspaper reports indicated that China was willing to settle for the return of the $200 million it had paid for the Phalcon, plus an additional $150 million in compensation, perhaps in the form of satellites, although Israeli government officials and Israel Aircraft Industries spokesmen have staunchly refused all comment on the reports.
		When the Phalcon deal was first broached to the United States in 1994, it was never formally approved but no objections were registered either.

		The Phalcon AEW&C aircraft is based on four sensors: phased-array radar, phased-array IFF, ESM/ELINT and CSM/COMINT.
		The PHALCON systems can be installed on a variety of platforms, such as the Boeing 707, Boeing 767, Boeing 747, Airbus and C-130.

	THE INDIAN AWACS THREAT
		Assuming that the feasibility study of Phalcons being integrated into IL-76 airframe has been done (China had practically finalized the deal of purchasing Phalcon radars from Israel for installation in their IL-76s before US refused to grant permission to Israel for the sale), the actual task of integration will be laborious, time consuming and expensive.
		In Chile, Phalcons are being used to track and control narcotic traffic that uses small civil aircraft for delivery.
		The obvious counter to the Indian AEWandC threat in the form of Phalcon AWACS is to acquire a similar capability, despite the difficulties due to political and financial constraints.

		In fact, while confirming the US âclearanceâ some US officials, referring to New Delhiâs agonizingly slow decision-making process with regards to the advanced jet trainer and aircraft carrier purchase, suggested it would still be a long while before India acquired the system considering the Byzantine procedures and time lag that accompany Indian arms purchase.
		US sources also appeared to relish the fact that Indiaâs purchase of the Phalcon could upset China --which was denied the same system because of similar US pressure on Israel â“ at a time when ties between New Delhi and Beijing was warming up.
