The IAI EL/M-2075 Phalcon is an Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) radar system in use by a number of countries to give intelligence to maintain air superiority and conduct surveillance. Radar is a system that uses electromagnetic waves to identify the range altitude direction or speed of both moving and fixed objects such as Aircraft, ships Air superiority is the dominance in the Air power of one side's air forces over the other side's during a Military campaign. Surveillance is the monitoring of Behavior. Systems surveillance is the process of monitoring the behavior of people objects or processes within systems for conformity It was developed with a partnership between Israeli Aircraft Industries and Elta Electronics Industries, of Israel. Israel Aerospace Industries ( Hebrew: התעשייה האווירית לישראל ha-ta`aSiyyâh ha-'awîrît lë-yiSrâ'êl) or IAI (תע"א ta`a' ELTA Systems LTD an Israeli provider of defense products and services specializing in Radar, C4ISTAR, RF, SIGINT and EW For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Israel topics. The Phalcon was considered the most advanced AEW&C system in the world, before the introduction of American-made Wedgetail for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft.

Instead of using a rotodome, a moving radar found on AWACS aircraft, the Phalcon uses the Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA), an active phased array radar. Radar is a system that uses electromagnetic waves to identify the range altitude direction or speed of both moving and fixed objects such as Aircraft, ships An Electronically Scanned Array (AESA also known as active Phased array Radar is a type of Radar whose Transmitter and This article is about general theory and electromagnetic phased array This radar consists of an array transmit/receive (T/R) modules that allow a beam to be electronically steered, making a physically rotating rotodome unnecessary. AESA radars have very short to instantaneous scanning rates, which makes them difficult to detect.

Phalcon radars can be mounted on the an aircraft's fuselage or on the top inside a small dome. The fuselage (from the French fuselé "spindle-shaped" is an Aircraft 's main body section that holds crew and passengers or Cargo Either position gives the radar 360 degree coverage. This allows it to track high maneuvering targets and low flying objects from hundreds of kilometers away, under all weather conditions, in both day and night. The kilometre ( American spelling: kilometer) symbol km is a unit of Length in the Metric system, equal to one thousand

The radars can be fitted to a number of aircraft, including the Boeing 707, Boeing 767, Boeing 747, and the Ilyushin Il-76. WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft.

China's purchase of the Phalcon system in 2000 was denied due to pressure from the United States. China ( Wade-Giles ( Mandarin) Chung¹kuo² is a cultural region, an ancient Civilization, and depending on perspective a National 2000 ( MM) was a Leap year that started on Saturday of the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the India bought three Phalcon systems in 2004 for a cost of $1.

At the same time, Russia agreed to supply IL-76s to India for fitting of the Phalcon. Russia (Россия Rossiya) or the Russian Federation ( Rossiyskaya Federatsiya) is a transcontinental Country extending

The Israeli Air Force has purchased 5 Gulfstream G550 aircraft to serve as the new IDF platform for the Phalcon system.

Composite materials (or composites for short are engineered Materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical A radome (the word is a contraction of Radar and Dome) is a structural weatherproof enclosure that protects a Radar antenna In 2007, 4 similar G550-Phalcon aircraft were also purchased by the Republic of Singapore Air Force, to eventually replace its ageing E-2C Hawkeyes. Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. WikipediaWikiProject Aircraft.
