About the E-8C Joint STARS:
The E-8C Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS) is a United
States Air Force airborne battle management and command and control (C2)
platform that conducts ground surveillance to develop an understanding of the
enemy situation and to support attack operations and targeting that contributes
to the delay, disruption and destruction of enemy forces. These functions
support the primary mission of Joint STARS -- to provide dedicated support of
ground and air theatre commanders.
The E-8C is a modified Boeing 707-300 series commercial airframe extensively
remanufactured and modified with the radar, communications, operations and
control subsystems required to perform its operational mission. The most
prominent external feature is the 12 m (40 ft) long, canoe-shaped radome under
the forward fuselage that houses the 7.3 m (24 ft) long, side-looking APY-7
phased array antenna.
About the F-15D:
The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle is an American-built, all-weather, extremely
maneuverable, tactical fighter designed to gain and maintain air superiority in
aerial combat. A variety of air-to-air weaponry can be carried by the F-15. An
automated weapon system enables the pilot to perform aerial combat safely and
effectively, using the head-up display and the avionics and weapons controls
located on the engine throttles or control stick. When the pilot changes from
one weapon system to another, visual guidance for the required weapon
automatically appears on the head-up display.
