Phalcon is a superior system,the E3C (Sentry)is an older system.
Do really think that USAF would like to operate somthing inferior to lead?

E3 is indeed an older system and has its drawbacks but rest assured that its not inferior to any systems around. The USAF has had a constant upgradation o fthese systems and even now they offer performance at least on par with all of the operational systems out there.
we wanted the E-3 Sentry
american would only sell us the E-2 hawkeyes......
p.s. P-3Cs in navy are using same radar as hawkeye
but why Pakistan wanted an "inferior" platform if E3 is less advanced than phalcon
This hardware and software modification to the E-3 improves radar set performance providing enhanced detection of targets, with an emphasis toward those with a low radar cross section (RCS). Major advantages include: Increased range against reduced RCS targets to include cruise missiles; Improved electronic counter-counter measures (ECCM) against current threats; Improved radar system reliability and maintainability (R&M); and Improved radar control and maintenance panel (RCMP) with embedded test equipment. RSIP utilizes a Pulse Doppler Pulse Compression (PDPC) waveform, increases data sampling rates, increases range and velocity resolution, increases signal integration time, adds new signal processing algorithms to enhance detection sensitivity and unambiguous range determination, and improves radar set monitoring and control. RSIP is a huge leap forward in a variety of factors. It increases the ability to detect and track smaller targets at greater distances, akin to giving the radar a set of binoculars. It also improves the reliability and maintainability for the radar hardware, which decreases the number of spares and amount of down time needed for repairs. Improved control and processing algorithms tailored to current threat data enhances system electronic counter-countermeasure (ECCM) capabilities. The improved electronic counter-counter measures mean it will be much more difficult for enemy forces to deceive or "jam" the AWACS with false electronic signals.

Some footage please.
Tried... but I haven't got that kind of post rights on this forum.
You can probably email Saab Aerosystems and get some. There's a whole new set of pictures that was shot of Erieye a/c.

Can you provide Neo or me the contacts/emails? We can make it available for everyone.

paf to get their awacs by the end of october says paf chief!!
ARTICLE - Islamabad, May 29 (ANI): The Air Warning and Control System (AWACS) and the spying satellite acquired by India recently has bolstered the Indian defense system, and as expected, Pakistan is worried by the Indian eye in the sky.
Pakistan Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Rao Qamar Suleman has stated that Pakistan would also acquire an Air Warning and Control System (AWACS) by October.
Suleman said India has created an imbalance in the power in the region, so it was important for Pakistan to balance the situation by acquiring its own early warning systems,The Daily Times reports.
Addressing a graduation ceremony at Risalpur Academy, Suleman also disclosed that during the Indo-Pak standoff in 2001-02, the Pakistan Air Force had shot down an Indian drone which had violated Pakistans air territory.
Indias most potent force multiplier, Phalcon AWACS, is capable of tracking down incoming missiles. The all weather system is also capable of engaging 60 targets simultaneously and has a range of 400 km.
It has a radar that can help detect cruise missiles or aircrafts at ranges much beyond the capabilities of present systems. It can also collate information about troop movements and missile launches on ground and even intercept highly secured communication networks of the enemy.
India would acquire two more AWACS by the end of the next year. (ANI)
paf is set to get 1 frm the sweden air force.
