Boeing and USAF demonstrate network centric capabilities

Boeing and the U.S. Air Force’s Electronic Systems Center are demonstrating network-centric capabilities aboard a U.S. Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) test aircraft during the Joint Expeditionary Force Experiment at Nellis Air Force Base. The event began April 12 and is scheduled to conclude on April 22. “For the first time, Boeing and the Air Force have brought together key components tested in previous experiments to constitute a complete network-centric capability,” said Rick Heerdt, Director of Boeing Airborne Warning Systems.
