In support of the U.S. Air Force’s Operational Imperatives, the Department must field capabilities such as next-generation sensors and networked connectivity – all within the DoD budget and on a rapid timeline. The E-7 is the only available, persistent, command and control aircraft capable of meeting those needs.

Boeing’s E-7 is a combat-proven, affordable solution to meet the U.S. Air Force’s near-term E-3 replacement needs while also addressing Operational Imperative capability requirements. As a derivative of the in-production Next-Generation 737 and in operation with the U.K., Australia, Korea and Turkey, the E-7 can be fielded to provide the warfighter with a measurable operational advantage.

The E-7 is an integrated, flexible command and control node that leverages networked connectivity, edge processing capabilities and organic communications and sensor data generation to support significantly improved operational decision-making and resilient and efficient force employment.

Its next-generation, multi-domain capabilities are foundational to maintaining Air Superiority – providing accurate, timely and effective support.

Based on a militarized Next-Generation 737, the E-7 is a persistent, off-the-shelf platform that brings lower operating and sustainment costs, higher mission readiness rates and unmatched interoperability among a growing global user community.

Currently in service or on contract with Australia, South Korea, Turkey and the United Kingdom, integration in future coalition operations is a distinct advantage.

The future battlespace will be more complex, dynamic and unconventional. Through its open systems architecture and agile software development, the E-7 provides rapid, affordable capability growth to remain relevant as threats evolve.

Designed for continuous updates, the E-7 enables the customer to use either Boeing or third-party software to maximize the warfighter’s flexibility to rapidly upgrade or field new capabilities regardless of vendor.
