NATO to replace its E-3A by new E-7 AWACS surveillance aircraft

According to Reuters, quoting the General Manager of the North Atlantic Treaty Ogranization (NATO) agency that manages the Airborne Warning & Control Systems (AWACS) fleet Michael Gschossmann, reported that the alliance might switch from the ageing E-3A surveillance aircraft fleet to the E-7 AWACS aircraft.

Michael Gschossmann told Reuters NATO could follow the lead of member states Britain and Turkey in purchasing the E-7, a newer radar plane also built by Boeing. Those aircraft, he said, were large enough to add potential new capabilities, such as operating drones for expanded surveillance, in coming years.

The E-7 is based on a Boeing 737-700, with the addition of an advanced Multi-Role Electronically Scanned Array (MESA) radar, and 10 state-of-the-art mission crew consoles which can track airborne and maritime targets simultaneously.

It is a highly advanced aircraft, providing an airborne early warning and control platform that can gather information from a wide variety of sources, analyse it, and distribute it to other assets.

"Why don't we bet on the proven technology that we already have in the E-7 and provide NATO with a certain number of those aircraft? That would give us a basic capability that could be expanded in the future," Michael Gschossmann said.

​Boeing eyes international KC-46A, E-7 opportunities

Mooie gedachte, maar laat ze eerst de KC-46 maar eens fatsoenlijk aan de praat krijgen, denk dat hun R&D afdeling het op dit moment al moeilijk genoeg heeft want ben bang dat er een behoorlijke shift richting hun 737 team plaatsvindt om daar de rijzende problemen het hoofd te bieden.
