The E-7A Wedgetail aircraft is based on a Boeing 737-700 Next Generation, with the addition of an advanced Multi-Role Electronically Scanned Array (MESA) radar, and 10 state-of-the-art mission crew consoles which can track airborne and maritime targets simultaneously. The E-7A Wedgetail can control the tactical battle space; provide direction for assets in the air, at sea and on land; and support aircraft such as tankers and intelligence platforms. It is a highly advanced aircraft, providing an airborne early warning and control platform that can gather information from a wide variety of sources, analyse it, and distribute it to other assets.
