(IsraelNN.com) Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) has unveiled its newest plane. The aircraft is an Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) center which gathers intelligence and commands combat. The new plane is already in service with the Israel Air Force.

The aircraft has been modified to include an advanced airborne early warning phased array radar which covers 360 degrees around the plane while in flight. In addition, its command and control systems are heavily automated. The aircraft is based on the GulfStream G550 executive jet, which according the IAI, is extremely fuel efficient for long-range missions.
