Project Wedgetail Imagery
14 March 2005
Project Wedgetail provides the ADF with
an advanced, state-of-the-art, Airborne Early
Warning and Control capability.
This impressive capability is an important node
in the ADF's future self-reliant integrated
network centric structure, and will provide
our people with enhanced situational awareness
of the areas under surveillance.
The 737 AEW&C is based on the Boeing Next Generation
737-700 featuring 21st century avionics, navigation
equipment, and flight deck.
The System Acquisition Contract with Boeing
is on budget and slightly ahead of contract
schedule.
All design activities have been completed, the
first two aircraft have completed their modification
programs and the first aircraft has completed
the Airworthiness Flight Testing program.
The Design Test and Evaluation program commenced
in June 2005.
