The AWACS are advanced radars mounted on an aircraft to give 360 degree coverage to detect incoming aircraft and missiles at long ranges.

The AWACS platform plays significant role in Indian Air Force’s Network-Centric Operations. These aircraft have electronic intelligence (ELINT) and communications intelligence (COMINT)-gathering capabilities that help intercept signals from enemy areas, in monitoring troop build-up and to detect aerial threats.

It can also detect drones and cruise missiles from a range of 400km
