CAEW Program - Summary
Maturity
The CAEW is towards Initial Operational Capability.
Additional CAEW in System integration and flight tests.
CAEW Crew(s) - Undergoing training using Operational Training
Simulator (OTS).
Maintenance and Support systems and facilities in-place.
CAEW Systems meeting or exceeding Performance
requirements.
The CAEW is the most advanced Of-The-Shelf system
providing:
High Performance, Low Maintenance Aircraft
Multi-Mission/Multi-Rule Net-Centric Battle Management Center
Affordable Acquisition Cost & Very Low O & M Cost
ELTA’s Third Generation AEW&C, The CAEW, is flight test proven.

25
AEW&C: Air Surveillance (Radar/IFF)
Detection, tracking, identification and classification of
airborne targets.
Command & Control of airborne operations.
26
AEW&C: Signal Surveillance (ESM)
ESM contributes to situation awareness picture:
Identification
Classification
Detection and Location of Emitters
Collection of SIGINT and building Electronic Order of
Battle (EOB).
27
AEW&C: Surface (SEA) Surveillance
Detection, tracking, identification and classification of
naval targets.
Support Command & Control of naval operations.
28
SIGINT: Signal Surveillance
Collection of SIGINT data (ELINT & COMINT) and
building EOB.
Detection and Analysis of complex emitters.
29
SAR/GMTI: Air-to-Ground Surveillance
Detection, location and tracking of moving and stationary
ground targets.
Provide high quality data to Support of Ground and AirGround operations.

One Possible Route - One Large Platform
All systems and all operators on one large platform
On-Board Integration
?
32
Can one platform be used for Air, Surface &
Signal Surveillance?
Each surveillance system needs
Different flight profile
Different patrol patterns
All systems on one platform
Extreme Payload, Power & Cooling Requirements
May need to be in different places at the same time.
Compromises in operational capability
A system trying to do everything is inherently suboptimal for any type of airborne surveillance.
33
Separate Platforms: Optimal Surveillance
Each platform optimized for its mission
Optimal flight profile
Optimal patrol pattern
Optimal communications
Optimal Airborne
Surveillance
Separate Platforms:
No conflicts of interest
No Compromise

CAEW CONOPS:
Remote Operation Concept
All C2 sites and CAEW are a single, integrated virtual
BMC2 Center - Central Integration of Sensor Outputs (raw
data) received via Air to Ground System Data Bus.
Every controller has the same picture, regardless of
where he/she is located.
Every controller can control any mission anywhere,
regardless of where he/she is located.
In principle - in many missions, there is no need for all/any
controllers to be onboard the CAEW.
39
Remote Operation Supporting Architecture
Operator Work Stations (OWS) in the Ground C2
Centers are connected to the CAEW mission system
bus via wide-band data channel.
Multiple Tactical data links are also provided.
An OWS on the ground can do all the functions and see
all the displays as if it is on-board.
40
Implementation of Remote Operation
Operators on the ground have full control of CAEW
systems including:
Radar & IFF control
Communications and data links control
BIT, calibration and real time maintenance
