British Wedgetail aircraft fleet taking shape
New images show the UK’s new Wedgetail AEW Mk1 airborne early warning and control aircraft starting to look the part.
Wedgetail is an airborne early warning and control system. They are designed to track multiple targets at sea or in the air over a considerable area for long periods of time. The aircraft is replacing the E-3D Sentry ‘AWACS’ many people are familiar with.
