FILE PHOTO -- The E-3 Sentry is an airborne warning and control system 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.
The E-3 Sentry is a modified Boeing 707/320 commercial airframe with a rotating
radar dome. The dome is 30 feet in diameter, six feet thick, and is held 11 feet
above the fuselage by two struts. It contains a radar subsystem that permits surveillance
fromthe Earth's surface up into the stratosphere, over land or water. The radar
has a range of more than 200 miles for low-flying targets and farther for aerospace
vehicles flying at medium to high altitudes. The radar combined with an identification
friend or foe subsystem can look down to detect, identify and track enemy and
friendly low-flying aircraft by eliminating ground clutter returns that confuse
other radar systems. (U.S. Air Force photo)
