Singapore Accepts G550 Caew

摘要

The Republic of Singapore Air Force received the first of four Gulfstream G550 Conformal Airborne Early Warning aircraft during a ceremony at Tengah Air Base on February 19. The new aircraft are being fitted with an 'active electronically scanned array' (AESA) radar that can track aircraft at over 200nm (370km), more than the Northrop Grumman E-2C Hawkeyes that they are replacing, which have served for more than 20 years. The Gulfstreams will be operated by 111 Squadron which currently flies the E-2Cs.
