Jun 13, 2005
CAEW&C Aircraft based on Gulfstream's G-550 Business Jet Configuration
A new compact airborne early warning & control (CAEW&C) system installed on Gulfstream's G-550 business jet has been developed by Israel Aircraft Industries' Elta Systems Group (IAI /Elta). A G-550 CAEW&C aircraft has been ordered by the Israel Air Force.
The aircraft utilizes technologies Elta successfully developed for other airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft. The business jet configuration provides a low-cost option while offering the full range of systems of larger AEW aircraft.
Elta's CAEW&C systems include phased array radar, phased array IFF (Identification of Friend or Foe), Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) and a Communication system. The communication system includes also a data link and a Satellite Communication (SATCOM) system for secure high-speed links to ground stations.
A unique fusion technique cross-correlates data from all the CAEW&C sensors allowing the aircraft to automatically search for specific targets. Data and reports can be integrated in a network centric system.
Israel Aircraft Industries, Ltd. is a leading manufacturer in the international aerospace and defense community and Israel's largest industrial exporter. IAI's ELTA Systems Group, is one of Israel's leading defense electronics companies and a leader in Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR), Early Warning and Control, Home-Land Security (HLS), Self-Protection and Self-Defense and Fire Control applications.
