The E-3 Sentry is a modified Boeing 707/320 commercial airframe with a rotating radar dome. The dome is 30 feet in diameter, 6 feet thick and is held 11 feet above the fuselage by two struts. It contains a radar subsystem that permits surveillance from the Earth's surface up into the stratosphere, over land or water. The radar has a range of more than 200 miles for low-flying targets and farther for aerospace vehicles flying at medium to high altitudes. (Courtesy photo)

The CH-47F Chinook is the Army’s new heavy lift helicopter that will extend the service life of the current cargo helicopter fleet by an additional 20 years. The Army plans to procure 513 CH-47 Chinooks through 2022, of which 452 will be CH-47Fs and 61 will be MH-47Gs. The platform is an upgraded CH-47D and has a gross weight of 50,000 pounds.

The platform has demonstrated a capability to self deploy in excess of 1,056 nautical miles, carry a 16,000 pound load for a 50 nautical mile combat radius. The CH-47F configuration includes a redesigned fuselage consisting of a new monolithic airframe with enhanced corrosion protection and airframe tuning.

The airframe incorporates enhanced air transportability features allowing for faster break down and reassembly during air transport. The Chinook incorporates the Common Aviation Architecture System Cockpit, the Common Missile Warning System, advanced avionics, integrated Blue Force Tracker (BFT), and a Digital Advanced Flight Control System.
