Product Name: 737 - AEW&C
Product Description
737-700 Flight Platform
One of the most popular and reliable jet aircrafts, the 737 series flight
platform includes the following capabilities:
- 21st century avionics, navigation equipment, and flight deck
- Operational ceiling of 41,000 feet
- A flight range that exceeds 3,500 nautical miles
- Minimal downtime requirements and a worldwide base of suppliers, parts,
and support equipment for cost-effective operation
AEW&C Functions
The AEW&C system includes the following elements:
- The multi-role electronically scanned array (MESA) radar system includes:
- A steerable beam, L-band, electronically scanned array that provides
optimal performance in range, tracking, and accuracy
- Radar that can track airborne and maritime targets simultaneously
- Assistance to the mission crew in directing the control of
high-performance fighter aircraft while continuously scanning the
operational area
- A "top hat" portion that provides a practical solution for
fore and aft coverage while maintaining the low drag profile of the
dorsal array system -- enabling the MESA system to be installed on the
mid-size 737-700 platform without significant impact to aircraft
performance
- An integrated identification friend or foe (IFF) function that shares the
primary radar arrays to reduce weight, improve reliability, and simplify
target correlation
- Advanced open-system architecture with standards-based design for
cost-effective integration and add-on flexibility
The Australian Defence Force and the Republic of Turkey have signed contracts
for the 737 AEW&C system.
