7. G550 CAEW: The Eye in the Sky
One novel method of airborne electronic warfare is the Gulfstream G550 Conformal Airborne Early Warning aircraft. Early warning radar features of this platform are combined with advanced electronic support measures and jammer systems. Its conformal radar arrays and electronic warfare suite preserve aerodynamic efficiency of the aircraft while offering 360-degree coverage. Modern digital signal processing’s integration makes electronic assault capability possible as well as simultaneous tracking feasible. Comparatively to conventional military platforms, the platform’s business jet airframe provides outstanding range and endurance while lowering running costs.
