The E-3A was the initial production run version of the E-3 series. 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. and NATO air defense forces. As proven in Desert Storm, it is the premier air battle command and control aircraft in the world today. It is based on a modified Boeing 707/320 commercial airframe and has a rotating radar dome. The dome contains a radar subsystem that permits surveillance from the Earth's surface up into the stratosphere, over land or water. The radar has a range of more than 200 miles (320 kilometers) for low-flying targets and farther for aerospace vehicles flying at medium to high altitudes.
Designed to meet a USAF requirement for an AWACS (Airborne Warning And Control System) aircraft, the E3 was first flown in 1971 © Copyright 2003-2010 The Flying Mule, Inc.
