Airborne early warning & controlUnited States1977In service
The Boeing E-3 Sentry is an airborne early warning and control aircraft based on the 707 airframe. Its large rotating radar dome above the fuselage is the family's defining feature, supporting surveillance and airborne command-and-control functions.
Radar range and configuration-specific sensor performance are deliberately omitted. Total crew varies with mission and operator and is not reduced to a flight-deck-only figure.
