Inside The Air Force’s Flying Radar Fleet

As the recent Chinese spy balloon encounter showed, keeping the skies safe is a tough job. For decades the U.S. Air Force has relied on the E-3 Sentry, and the most recent version, the E-3G, has been upgraded with more modern electronics and software to keep up with new threats.
'The best way to describe it is kind of like the quarterback in the sky," said Air Force Col. Keven Coyle, commander of the 552nd Air Control Wing. "It's the job of the E-3 to surveil, to layout the enemies arrayed, and then allow our friendly forces to be able to be set up in a way that allows them to fight with the greatest capacity."
The Air Force is hoping that the E-7 Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft built by Boeing can take over down the line if the Air Force needs to retire some of the older Sentry aircraft over the coming years. In the most recent budget, Congress appropriated an additional $200 million for the Air Force to develop a prototype to meet that need.
"Congress has approved the money for the first two prototypes, which is a very good thing for the Air Force," said Lt. Col. Peter "Beast" Bastien, Air Combat Command directorate of plans, programs and requirements, airborne weapons systems and futures chief. "On the other hand, there's a physical limitation on how fast you can turn a roll of aluminum into an E-7."
The age of the E-3s has made replacement parts more difficult to procure, and the mechanical breakdowns inherent in such an old aircraft are impacting mission rates. Congress prohibited the Air Force from starting to retire the bulk of the current fleet of Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft until the Secretary of the Air Force submits an acquisition strategy to Congress for a replacement. But even then, it could be years until a replacement is operational.
"Having the first one out in 2027 is not bad from an acquisition point of view, " said Daniel Goure, senior vice president with the Lexington Institute, "Even for a system that's been in some variants in the field for a long time, that's pretty darn quick, but if there is a way to get them quicker we really need to consider that in order to make sure that we don't lose the capability because of a problem with the aging AWACS."

It's amazing that the AWACS is still in operation. My first job out college was working as a software engineer for Boeing in Seattle on the E-3A for a couple of years before it was delivered. I had to learn JOVIAL (Jules Own Version of ALGOL) but since it was basically a derivative of ALGOL I was able to start on my assignment within a week. There were about 300 software engineers on one side of an old WW2 building, and 200 hardware engineers on the other side. We had our own test plane in Seattle but we had to send the program (on tape reels) to Tinker every week for the Air Force to test the system.

A few years ago I met my old Motocross racing buddy for a Supercross race in Las Vegas. He had a career in Florida as a maintenance tech for F-15's. With his credentials we entered Nellis AFB. I had a new Iphone and took some pictures of the E-3 AWAC that was about 1/4 mile away across the flight line. A guy and girl came out of the building behind us and ask me if I just took some photos of the E-3. I had to give them my phone so they could delete the shots.

The phrase "To put it in context, if the E-3 was a car in Virginia, it would qualify for antique license plates." sums up how old the E-3 is. The Air Force announced in 2022 that it will replace part of the E-3 Sentry fleet with Boeing E-7 Wedgetails, which are twin-engine airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft based on the Boeing 737 Next Generation (737NG) design.

The E-3 Sentry is one reason the US maintains the #1 military in the world. That said, like the F-22s being replaced by the easier and cheaper to maintain F-35 jets being fitted with more advanced tech, as the military advances our capabilities with advanced stealth bombers, so will go the E-3 Sentry. Soon we will see more advanced aircraft to seamlessly replace the E-3 with better tech and easier maintenance capabilities and cost...Just sayin'

The F-22 isn't being replaced by the F-35; they both have different missions. The plane that will replace the F-22 as the US's air supremacy fighter is still in development.

@jasoncrawford5350 Год назад

Definitely appreciate why the USAF want to go through the process and develop certain requirements, it’s what they’re used to and they want a US developed platform which has always been the case. And you can appreciate. However honestly especially given the urgency I would just order the Australian variant off the shelf. They have already used it, the US are already huge fans of it and during the operations in the Middle East the US were always requesting it. The Wedgetail and Australian tankers were the most requested aircraft assets of all through the operations. Whenever USAF personnel have looked at the E-7 Wedgetail they have been amazed at its capabilities, the architecture etc of it. So why not just order it off the shelf. Save money, save time, procurement would be slashed in half.

You say that and yet if you were to look at the same statistic and sort it by percentage of GDP, the US isn't even at the top. Spending only 3.2% of it's GDP on defence. Israel spends 5.2% and Saudi Arabia 6.6%. Poland is looking to increase it's spending to 5% of it's GDP. So while yes you are correct in that the USA spends the most in terms of dollar amount. US spending compared to every other country as a percentage of GDP is pretty average. Larger economies don't disproportionately spend more on defence. They're larger numbers are just a result of elementary mathematics. Your misrepresenting a statistic to make a statement. Now you just look dumb.
