A NATO E-3A takes off from NATO Air Base Geilenkirchen. The E-3A is an airborne warning and control system (AWACS) aircraft with a rotating radar dome that provides all-weather surveillance, command, control and communications needed by commanders of NATO and other allied air defense forces. It is the premier air battle command and control aircraft in the world today. DND photo. This photo was added on 17 December 2024, and has since been viewed 50 times. |
