WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Resilience, innovation and advances in technology will be key factors as NATO maps out a multibillion-dollar effort to replace its ageing fleet of 17 Boeing Co E-3 Sentry Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft, a top NATO official told Reuters.
French General Jean-Paul Palomeros, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation, said NATO was starting to map out its requirements for the next-generation of weapons to detect air and surface threats, which will be needed between 2030 and 2035.
