ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. (AFIE) -- An E-8C Joint Surveillance Target
Attack Radar System (Joint STARS) from the 93rd Air Control Wing flies
a refueling mission over the skies of Georgia. The Department of
Defense will soon deploy Joint STARS and Global Hawk unmanned aerial
vehicle surveillance systems over the Afghan theater of operations in
support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The E-8C is an airborne battle
management and command and control platform that conducts ground
surveillance to develop an understanding of the enemy situation and to
support attack operations and targeting that contributes to the delay,
disruption and destruction of enemy forces. (U.S. Air Force photo by
