The Wedgetail combines long-range surveillance radar (Northrop Grumman Multi-Role Electronically Scanned Array (MESA), secondary radar and tactical/strategic voice and data communications systems to provide an airborne early warning and control platform. During a standard mission, the E-7A Wedgetail can cover more than four million square kilometres. It is capable of unlimited long-range deployment with in-flight refuelling.
