Summary

Description
English: Night shoot of Sentry AEW.Mk 1 aircraft at RAF Waddington.

Officially designated Sentry AEW.Mk 1 in RAF service, but commonly known as E -3D. Sentry is an early warning (AEW) and command and control aircraft.

The Sentry monitors airspace to provide threat detection of adversary aircraft and situational awareness on friendly assets.

Information gathered by the huge top mounted radar is processed by the mission crew and disseminated via data links and comms systems.

Sentry also has the capability to detect ships, relaying information to allied maritime aircraft or vessels.
