This afternoon we tracked a surveillance mission conducted by an Italian Air Force CAEW in the Black Sea theater, an area we hadn’t seen activity in for some time. 

The aircraft, a Gulfstream E.550 CAEW (Conformal Airborne Early Warning), identified with registration code MM62293) and callsign PERSE071, took off from Pratica di Mare AB and orbited between 11:00 CET and 16:30 CET along the Romanian coast near the Danube Delta.

The CAEW (Conformal Airborne Early Warning) aircraft is an advanced airborne surveillance platform designed for early warning, air defense, and intelligence-gathering operations. Equipped with cutting-edge radar and electronic systems, it provides 360-degree situational awareness, real-time threat detection, and battlefield management capabilities.

Its conformal design enhances aerodynamics and reduces drag, allowing for extended mission durations and improved efficiency. The CAEW is a critical asset for modern air forces, supporting command and control, as well as enhancing operational readiness and decision-making.
