E-3 Replacement
Abstract
E-3 Replacement: E-3 Replacement is the planned E-3G AWACS replacement. The E-3G AWACS has limited operational utility in contested conflicts coupled with its availability challenges create an operational imperative to replace it. The E-3 Replacement will provide improved kill-chain effectiveness, enhanced reliability/availability, and reduced operating costs by integrating a modern Electronically Scanned Array sensor on a manned platform. The electronically scanned array is capable of radar beam steering, sector staring and much faster target revisit rates that translate into better target detection and tracking of modern threats well as more robust Electronic Protection that isn't possible with the mechanically scanned radar used by E-3 AWACS.
