Hi,
Surprised you didnot know that ( must have forgotten )---but you are using the wrong term---the awacs are not second hand---the aircraft are---pretty much most of the awacs based on saab 2000 are on used aircraft---the used aircraft is of least concern---what is of concern is what is inside and outside of that aircraft.

The aircraft just has to fly between 350 and 4oo knots that is all---new or pre-owned---ain't any difference.

Before someone tries to question the airframe life,

Saab maintains, "Given typical utilisation, they (Saab 2000) are due to operate for the next 35 to 40 years."

then system can be transfered to any other small air craft if needed . but i don't think so we need it after 40 years .

In coming Years UAV AEW&C-AWACS would take to skies.

Woops. My bad. Mis-used the terms AWACS and SAAB-2000.

The Eriye system is new, but the Saab-2000 aircraft airframe is old.

Sorry fatman!!

Hi, one more thing about the SAAB-2000 and it being second hand. Before, these platforms were converted into the ERIEYE, they were refurbished by SAAB Aerospace and their airframes bought down to zero hours, meaning they are practically new. I remember reading this in an article.

ZDK-03 'Karakoram Eagle' AWACS: ZDK-03 variant designed specifically for export to the Pakistan Air Force. Consists of a Chinese AESA radar mounted on the Y-8F600 platform. The radar is reported to have a greater range than that of the PAF's Saab 2000 Erieye AEW&C radar. [Picture courtesy: Nadeem]

What are those white strips lurking on the top/bottom of the aircraft? Look between the cockpit and the mounted radar area.
