KJ-600 carrierborne AEWC thread

[LuzinskiJ]

Is the Radar in the rotating radom on the KJ600 one or two sided? I think on the KJ700 it is two sided.

According to 约克 it's the same as E-2D, single sided and rotates.

Thanks!! I guess that make sense, single sided because of power and perhaps weight. But if it isn't necessary to for K600 to cover 360 degrees, then it I think each carrier would need to have multiple K600s in the air at the same time to provide enough protective coverage.
