Pertinence pour les conflits
Ceci est la fiche unique du catalogue pour ce système. Il est pertinent pour le module ci-dessous ; le Force Atlas de chaque module montre comment il y est employé.
Opérateurs
NATO and the eastern flank: One of the few military capabilities NATO owns and operates itself, flown by the multinational NATO Airborne Early Warning and Control Force from Geilenkirchen; the aircraft have flown surveillance and air-policing support over the eastern flank since 2014 and continuously since February 2022, as NATO states.
Rôle sur le champ de bataille
Airborne early warning, surveillance and control: long-range detection of aircraft and missiles at low altitude beyond the reach of ground radars, and the airborne control of air-policing and air-defence missions.
Limites
A fleet in service for more than four decades, whose replacement NATO has chosen but not yet received; availability, tasking and orbits are not published and are not recorded here.
