Jindalee Operational Radar Network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Officially the system allows the Australian Defence Force to observe all air and sea activity north of Australia to distances of 3000 km

The JORN is so sensitive it is able to track planes as small as a Cessna 172 taking off and landing in East Timor 2600 km away
