00:00.699 --> 00:03.449
(dramatic music)

00:07.550 --> 00:09.300
- The E3-Sentry is a combination

00:09.300 --> 00:10.780
airborne early warning platform

00:10.780 --> 00:13.350
and battle management command and control,

00:13.350 --> 00:16.500
provides an air picture
for all air players,

00:16.500 --> 00:18.770
helps control those assets,
make sure that their

00:18.770 --> 00:22.050
mission is executed on
time, the right place,

00:22.050 --> 00:24.820
safely and gives us a
huge situational awareness

00:24.820 --> 00:25.950
over our adversaries.

00:25.950 --> 00:28.447
The key feature of the
airplane is that dome up there.

00:28.447 --> 00:31.300
It houses a combination of Doppler radar

00:31.300 --> 00:34.413
and Identify Friend or Foe hardware

00:34.413 --> 00:38.120
that then translates down to
be used by the crew inside,

00:38.120 --> 00:39.340
to be able to see everything that's

00:39.340 --> 00:40.950
actually flying in the AOR.

00:40.950 --> 00:44.530
We can put an E3 any place on
the planet within a day or so.

00:44.530 --> 00:46.270
CENTCOM will put us in place where

00:46.270 --> 00:47.820
there's either gaps of radar coverage

00:47.820 --> 00:49.390
or they need a little bit of extra SA,

00:49.390 --> 00:51.880
situational awareness, to be able to

00:53.370 --> 00:54.970
manage friendly air assets to

00:54.970 --> 00:56.462
execute the mission.

00:56.462 --> 00:59.212
