The Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AEW&C) is a type of avionics system used to detect and track aircraft, ships, and other objects. It is typically mounted on an aircraft and is used to provide long-range surveillance, target acquisition, and battle management capabilities. AEW&C systems are used by military forces to provide early warning of potential threats, allowing them to respond quickly and effectively. They can also be used for air traffic control, search and rescue operations, and other applications. AEW&C systems are typically composed of a variety of components, including radar, communications, and data processing systems. The radar system is used to detect and track targets, while the communications system is used to relay information to other aircraft or ground stations. The data processing system is used to analyze the data collected by the radar and communications systems and provide the necessary information to the operators. A number of companies are involved in the AEW&C market, including Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Saab, and Raytheon. These companies provide a range of products and services, including aircraft, radar systems, communications systems, and data processing systems. Show Less Read more
