The E-3A normally operates at an altitude of 30,000 feet. When established at this altitude, a single E-3A has more than has over 312,000km2 in its field of view. Furthermore, an E-3A can continuously survey the airspace within a radius of more than 400 km of the aircraft and, using digital data links, exchange information with ground- and sea-based commanders. Thus, an E-3A positioned well within friendly airspace can provide early warning information on both low-flying and high-altitude aircraft operating over the territory of a potential aggressor.
