Gf is this System more capable then the Saab Eyriee. and i think BAE Australia was a partner in this project (was it?). and is this the similar version to the AWAC being sold to the Turkish AF by BAE UK.
I love this platform its Internal Layout is simplified (as seen on the BAE website) and more organized Large multifunction display screens and more breathing space. the best part of it is that it doesn't need a large crew to perform the tasks that other Awacs require.

It is a far more capable system than Eyrie. It's an Air Battle Management System whereas the Eyrie is not. The model the Turks are being offered is similar to this. Obviously there are some local electronics changes so that this platform can interact with JORN OTH, the new SWR system, Link 16 interaction etc...adsH said:
BAe Australia was involved. There are also a few Australian companies who are also part of the JSF programme involved with development. (2 companies that were involved with electronically scanned phased array systems and long range radar development)
