Recommended Posts

Just wondering, what kind of systems do the marines use for AWACS/ early warning /overwatch? Couldn't find anything in a quick googling :)

Found something what USMC use

- principal USMC aviation command and control center DASC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Air_Support_Center

- KC130 variant equipped with AN UYQ-3A transportable communications shelter: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/kc-130.htm

- G/ATOR: http://www.es.northropgrumman.com/solutions/gator/

- G-BOSS: http://www.marcorsyscom.usmc.mil/sites/cins/INTEL/SPECIAL%20PROJECTS/G-BOSS_Lite.html

If needed they will get infos from Navy, Air Force and Army too. (Btw the E-2 is US Navy ;) )

For Electronic Warfare USMC uses the EA-6B Prowler and EA-18G Growler (special version of F/A-18). Here is a list of the USMC aircraft squadrons:

Hope it helps :)
