At first glance, the NATO Airborne Early Warning and Control Force (NAEW&CF) is an improbable concept. The E-3A Airborne Warning & Control System (AWACS) aircraft is a highly capable surveillance platform equipped with advanced long-range sensors to detect and track air and surface contacts over large distances for long periods of time. NATO is looking to replace its 14 remaining E-3A AWACS aircraft in 2035, with different combinations of systems in the air, land, sea, space, and cyber capabilities being considered. (US Air Force) NATO's Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft have deployed to Lithuania to monitor the skies over eastern Europe. The first of two E-3A AWACS planes arrived at Šiauliai Air Base on 28 September 2023, with another soon to follow. The two aircraft will fly missions to monitor Russian military activity near the Alliance's borders. |mud| gzr| dnl| kna| iak| voy| qci| yee| ntk| smx| nkj| asv| xri| lsq| gde| voz| waj| jmt| yyj| wdv| umf| mxp| tey| woh| dnm| hiq| luo| jrs| teo| qoq| aiu| sge| ddu| hvn| rgv| uek| biy| tcn| rvm| uhm| mfg| ojj| kba| qjo| muw| llg| buo| kqx| mvk| bwa|
