737 AEW&C (Wedgetail - First Flight)

Boeing · USA/Australia

Based on the 737-700, the Wedgetail replaced the old rotating "mushroom" dish of the E-3 with a fixed MESA (Multi-role Electronically Scanned Array) radar. It can track air and sea targets simultaneously while serving as a massive command-and-control hub.
