EMB-145 Erieye Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircraft

The EMB-145 AEW&C is a derivative of the Embraer ERJ-145 regional jetliner airframe, modified with the integration of an airborne early warning radar and mission system.

ERIEYE has been developed by Ericsson Microwave Systems. The system comprises an active, phased-array pulse-Doppler radar including integrated Secondary Surveillance Radar and Identification Friend or Foe (SSR/IFF), a comprehensive, modular command-and-control system, Electronic Support Measures (ESM), communications and datalinks.

The radar provides 360 degree coverage and has an instrumental range of 450km and detection range of 350 km in a dense hostile electronic warfare environment — in heavy radar clutter and at low target altitudes. In addition to this, the radar is also capable of identifying friends or foes, and has a sea surveillance mode.
