Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) refers to a system that uses aircraft equipped with radar and other sensors to detect and track airborne threats. These aircraft can monitor large areas of airspace, providing real-time information to military command centers. This capability enhances situational awareness and helps coordinate responses to potential threats. AEW&C systems are crucial for modern military operations, as they can identify enemy aircraft, missiles, and other aerial activities. Notable examples of AEW&C platforms include the E-3 Sentry and E-2 Hawkeye, which are used by various air forces around the world to maintain air superiority.
