Turkish Peace Eagle fleet complete
The Turkish Air Force’s Peace Eagle Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) fleet is now complete, with the final aircraft delivered by Boeing to the Konya Air Base.
Four aircraft and ground support systems, including the Software Support Centre, have been delivered under the programme to enhance Turkey’s airspace surveillance and battle management capabilities.
This aircraft has already received upgraded software, and the previously delivered Peace Eagles will now be upgraded with the software.
Aysem Sargin Isil, managing director, Boeing Turkey, said: ‘Turkey is currently the only nation in this region with the AEW&C capability. By combining Boeing’s innovative engineering with the expertise provided by local Turkish industry partners, we’ve delivered an advanced world-class airborne surveillance system to our customer.’
Boeing worked with Turkish industry partners Turkish Aerospace Industries, Turkish Airlines, Havelsan and Aselsan on the programme.
