E-3 Sentry History:
The E-3D Sentry, known to the Royal Air Force as the AEW1, is
based on the commercial Boeing 707-320B aircraft, which has been
extensively modified and updated to accommodate modern mission
systems. The RAF operates seven E-3Ds in the airborne surveillance
and command and control role.
The E-3D is the only aircraft in the inventory of the RAF capable
of air-to-air refueling by both the American "flying boom" system
and the RAF's "probe and drogue" method. Its roles include air and
sea surveillance, airborne command and control, weapons control, and
communications platform.
The AEW1 houses a Northrop Grumman AN/APY-2 high-performance,
multi-mode lookdown radar in its black radome. This radar is capable
of separating airborne and maritime targets from ground and sea
clutter, and provides lookdown surveillance to the radar horizon.
The E-3D's mission systems can separate, manage and display targets
individually on situation displays within the aircraft, or it can
transmit the information to ground-based and ship-based units using
a wide variety of digital data links.
