The navigation officer on a Boeing 707 aircraft, leaving Rhein Main Air Base, Germany, plots a course using a laptop computer in connection with the Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (J-STARS). J-STARS is a long range, air-to-ground surveillance and battle management system. When in flight the radar can detect and track more than 120 miles of terrain providing the battle commander with invaluable information about troop movement and position. A 40-foot radome under the forward part of the fuselage houses the phased-array radar antenna. The information is fed to the 17 Army and Air Force operators who have access to the radar data in real-time via on-board large-screen graphics...

Two Boeing 707 aircraft, equipped with Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar Systems (J-STARS), sit on the tarmac at Rhein Main Air Base, Germany. They have a 40-foot radome under the forward part of the fuselage housing the phased-array radar antenna. An A model is on the right and a C model is on the left. J-STARS is a long range, air-to-ground surveillance and battle management system. When in flight the radar can detect and track more than 120 miles of terrain providing the battle commander with invaluable information about troop movement and position. The information is fed to the 17 Army and Air Force operators who have access to the radar data in real-time via on-board large...
