The solution is aimed at improving the efficiency of actions in multi -dominant operations, especially in conditions of limited or fully blocked communication infrastructure.
< p >The main technical advantage of Wedgetil is the Mesa Radar (Multi-Role Electronical Scanned Array), mounted on the upper part of the fuselage. This electron-scan radar provides a circular inspection at a distance of more than 600 km, allows to track air and marine goals at the same time and to carry out dynamic tracking without moving parts. In addition, the aircraft is equipped with passive radio intelligence systems, recognition & laquo; your own-chow & raquo;, as well as UHF/VHF channels, satellite and satellite; rsquo; < P > Due to the installation of Starlink, Wedgetail has received a much wider bandwidth, reduced signal transmission delay and the ability to store a stable connection & rsquo; even in radio electronic confrontation. This is especially important for coordination of air, maritime and ground units in real -time mode that takes the potential of the aircraft to a new level.< P > Australia is currently operating six E-7a Wedgetail aircraft, which are part of the 2nd squadron. Since their adoption in 2009, these planes have participated in many operations, including missions in the Middle East and in Europe. They have proven themselves as one of the most effective platforms of early detection and management of air operations.
< p > modernization of Wedgetail & mdash; including Starlink integration and other updates & mdash; It was made possible by Australia's investment of $ 569 million in Australia. At the same time, the interest in the platform is growing among the Allies: the US and the United Kingdom have already declared their intentions to take Wedgetail on weapons, and their servicemen are trained in the 2nd squadron. This opens the way to create a joint operational doctrine and enhance security in the security area.
