AEW&C OPERATIONAL TACTICS, ANYONE ?
Hello all !
I have seen and read some books about AEW&C aircraft (the most recent being "Beyond the Horizon-The History of AEW&C Aircraft"), but nothing or little is said about operational tactics. All I can suppose regarding this is that an AEW&C usually flies far from the frontline. But does exist something more ?
Thanks in advance

C4ISR: Current operational tactics used by military aircraft are perhaps a little too classified for this forum (or indeed anywhere in open source). Sorry.

The latest AWACS has Stealth technology, and thus operates much closer to the FEBA than earlier versions. The new radar system avoids the obvious rotating scanner that shows up on radar, allowing it to get much closer to the action. It looks like a KC-135.

It can fly underwater and employ its Upward-Facing Radar to locate enemy shipping, including submarines, which it can then destroy using Multi-Pulse High-intensity Laser/Taser Metal-Melting Beams. Be very careful if you are out swimming - or fishing!

Come on guys, cut him some slack. The concept of ops is hardly secret.
Get AIRBORNE detect the enemy EARLY give WARNING and CONTROL something before something dicks you.
Simples.

PN add in control the battle and kill your enemy.
The UK's state of the art machine. Not the lovely radar absorbing paint scheme and the ability to alter it's RCS by automatic wing fold sequencing in flight - using the excess power from it's huge Double Mamba power plant as a triumph of pulling power over aerodynamics to give exceptional manoeuver performance ! Note also the 2 x pylon mounted disguised Genie nuclear AAMs (dummy tail and nose cones that jettison before launch) which come in handy when threatened by high performance anti-HVAA aircraft - just EMP their weapon systems and bravely run away in your still operating "old-school" flying machine.

According to Sputnik it is pointless operating the likes of AWACS.

OP: If you are referring to 8/23 Sqn, RAF then their tactics manual was written around attending exercises, airshows, and utilizing Samsonites. The word Operational never really featured much when operating the E3-D.

Juliet this is what I was trying to talk about. Does it look "stupid" to you ?
