China's New Generation Y-9 Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AEW&C) aircraft which will offer 360º radar coverage with its Three sided active electronically scanned array (AESA) Radar.

This new Airborne Early Warning and Control System looks to improve on the Sino-Pak ZDK-03 Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AEW&C) Karakoram Eagle which uses rotating Radar dome to provide  360º radar coverage.


Given the shortage of the IL-76 Transport aircraft airframes for KJ-2000 conversion, this new generation Airborne Early Warning and Control System might find its way into service Peoples Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF)
