will provide ground moving target indication, some air moving target indication, and key battle-management command and control. The aircraft is expected to be a central element in the Air Force's Command and Control Constellation, a concept that envisions a fully connected array of land-, platform- and space-based sensors using common standards and communication protocols to relay information automatically in machine-to-machine interfaces.
