Excerpt: The Lockheed EC-121 Warning Star was a United States Navy and United States Air Force airborne early warning radar surveillance aircraft. A military version of the Lockheed Constellation, it was designed to serve as an airborne early warning system to supplement the Distant Early Warning Line, using two large radomes, a vertical dome above and a horizontal one below the fuselage. EC-121s were also used for intelligence gathering (SIGINT). It was introduced in 1954 and retired from service in 1978, although a single specially modified EW aircraft remained in service with the U.S. Navy until 1982. The US Navy versions when initially procured were designated WV-1 (PO-1W), WV-2, and WV-3. Warning Stars of the U.S. Air Force served during the Vietnam War as both electronic sensor monitors and as a forerunner to the Boeing E-3 Sentry AWACS. U.S. Air Force aircrews adopted the civil nickname, "Connie" (diminutive of Constellation) as reference, while naval aircrews used the term "Willie Victor" based on a slang version of the phonetic alphabet and the naval version of the aircraft's pre-1962 designation of WV-1, WV-2 or WV-3. The second PO-1W prototype at NAS Barbers Point in 1952. The third production WV-2 in flight in 1954.Since 1943 the Lockheed Constellation had been in USAAF service as the C-69. The use of the Constellation by the US Navy for patrol and airborne early...

Download or read book Soviet Russian AWACS Aircraft written by Yefim Gordon and published by Midland Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need to ensure effective protection of the Soviet airspace in areas lacking adequate cover by ground radars led the nation's aircraft designers to start working on airborne early warning systems. The Tupolev OKB was the first among the nation's aircraft design bureaus to create an μeye in the sky', evolving the Tu-126 AEW aircraft from the Tu-114 long-haul turboprop airliner. The aircraft entered service in 1961, filling an important role with the Soviet Air Force until replaced in the early 1980s by the Ilyushin/ Beriyev A-50 AWACS based on the IL-76MD transport. In addition to these two types, the book describes the highly unorthodox Antonov An-71 with its tail-mounted rotodome (intended for operations from a large aircraft carrier which eventually never materialized) and the Kamov Ka-31 shipboard AEW helicopter. Due mention is also made of projects that never got off the drawing board the Tu-156, IL-150 and Yakovlev Yak-44.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Air Force (USAF) at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma, trains USAF officers to fulfill the role of Weapons Directors (WDs) aboard the E-3B/C Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft. The AWACS platform supports Command, Control and Communications (C3) missions in the airborne environment. USAF Armstrong Laboratory, Crew Technology Division, Sustained Operations Branch (AL/CFTO), in cooperation with Systems Research Laboratories, Inc. (SRL), configured WD crewstations and affiliated systems in the Aircrew Evaluation Sustained Operations Performance (AESOP) facility to run defensive counter air (DCA) mission simulations. Teams of three WDs detect, identify, intercept, and destroy enemy aircraft attempting to attack friendly forces or penetrate friendly airspace. A Senior Director (SD) serves as the immediate supervisor in the chain of command. In a DCA mission, the SD oversees and coordinates WD efforts to execute the directives of the senior battle staff.
