- Definição1
- Use of aircraft to lift powerful search radar to greatest possible height to extend line-of-sight coverage (very approximately, LOS radius in statute miles is square root of 1.5 times observer’s height in feet). Modern AEW can give a PPI covering 170,000 sq miles, throughout which two low-level aircraft in close formation can be individually distinguished against ground clutter.
