Airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft have an important role of early detection of hostile activity. They act as an airborne command post, controlling all airborne movements in the tactical area. The development of such aircraft is capital intensive, therefore the use of a civilian platform is a recurrent practice.

EMB145 AEW&C India: From a Regional Platform to an AEW&C Aircraft Abstract
Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) aircraft have an important role of early detection of hostile activity in order to give defensive forces sufficient time to prepare suitable countermeasures. Furthermore, they act as an airborne command post, controlling all airborne movements in the tactical area. The development of such aircraft is capital intensive, therefore the use of a civilian platform is a recurrent practice in order to conform with present day economic realities. This presentation describes the process of converting the EMB145 regional platform into an AEW&C aircraft, with focus on aerodynamics issues. Aerodynamic configuration determination and freezing, wind tunnel tests, drag determination, aerodynamic data bank construction and CFD analyses are discussed from the conceptual design phase to the aircraft delivery.
