The effort NATO is making today will help retain its information advantage after 2035, while ensuring new systems are cost effective and fit for purpose. The Airborne Warning and Control System (or AWACS) has been NATO’s eyes in the sky since the 1980s. AWACS has served in every NATO operation as a visible symbol of the Alliance’s presence, while making important contributions in air surveillance, command and control, and other missions crucial to the Alliance’s defence and security. AWACS will retire in 2035, after 50 years of service. At the 2016 NATO Summit in Warsaw, NATO launched Alliance Future Surveillance and Control – or AFSC – to plan how we maintain awareness and command our forces after AWACS retires. Through this initiative, NATO is fundamentally redefining how it conducts surveillance and control in the future. This means working in partnership with experts from a range of communities, including science and technology, military, and industry. NATO is studying new technologies and exploring potential mixes of air, ground, space, or unmanned systems connecting together to collect and share information. These studies will help inform decisions by NATO, individual Allies, or multinational groups to acquire new systems, rather than simply buying new aircraft. NATO aims to have any new systems ready and in place by the time AWACS retires around 2035. It’s an example of what nations can do when working together through the NATO Alliance. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ SUBSCRIBE to this channel http://bit.ly/NATOsubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO News http://bit.ly/NATONewsSubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO History http://bit.ly/NATOHistorySubscribe Connect with NATO online: Visit the Official NATO Homepage: http://bit.ly/NATOhomepage Find NATO on FACEBOOK: http://bit.ly/NATOfacebook Follow @NATO on TWITTER: http://bit.ly/NATOtwitter Find NATO on Google+: http://bit.ly/NATOgoogleplus Find NATO on LinkedIn: http://bit.ly/NATOlinkedin Find NATO on Flickr: http://bit.ly/NATOflickr Tue, 09 Jun 2026 08:15:41 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tube.home.franssen.xyz https://tube.home.franssen.xyz/client/assets/images/icons/icon-1500x1500.png https://tube.home.franssen.xyz/videos/watch/25d08bc8-8602-42e5-a78f-a771fe489bf8 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tube.home.franssen.xyz/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
