The PAF will utilise the airborne system to perform continuous surveillance of air territory, borders and the sea.
The system consists of three parts – an airborne segment, a ground-based segment, and a logistics and support service.
The airborne segment includes Saab 2000 aircraft equipped with the airborne early warning radar system Erieye.
The Erieye AEW&C, together with existing ground-based radars, will provide the air force a more detailed picture for conducting more-efficient rescue operations as well as to counter potential threats to national security.
