Content Structure
Jane’s Electronic Mission Aircraft is a one-stop information source that covers the programme histories, use and equipment of those military, paramilitary and civilian fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and aerostats that have a primary electronic mission. The work also provides data on airborne weaponry where appropriate (see following). Information is presented by air vehicle type and, as of May 2007, this title’s structure was sub-divided into nine major sections, as follows:

• Airborne early warning
  Fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and aerostats whose primary role is the detection, localisation and tracking of air and surface targets using radar and/or passive detection sensors together with the command and control of interceptor and strike air assets.
• Psychological warfare
  Air vehicles whose primary role is the dissemination of propaganda material by electromagnetic means.
• Radar surveillance/multisensor systems
  Fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, UAVs and aerostats whose primary role is the detection, localisation and tracking of activity on land and at sea using radar and/or combinations of radar, electro-optical imaging, signals and telemetry intelligence and other sensors.
• Command and control
  Fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters whose primary task is the command and control of land, sea and/or air assets together with the relay of communications and/or orders.
• Electronic warfare
  Fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and UAVs whose primary role is the disruption of radar, communications and/or command and control networks. Where such disruption takes the form of ‘hard kill’ Suppression of Enemy Air Defences (SEAD), details of the weaponry associated with the particular SEAD platforms are given. Coverage further extends to the world’s inventory of air-launched anti-radiation missiles.
• Signals Intelligence
  Fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters whose primary role is the collection of tactical or strategic communications, electronic and technical intelligence.
• Radar and electronic warfare training
  Fixed-wing aircraft whose primary role is the provision of equipment training for radar/systems operators or the provision of realistic and challenging electromagnetic environments in which radar, electronic support and countermeasure system operators can be exercised.
• Research and development
  Military and civilian airborne platforms whose primary roles include research, technology development, research and development support and technology demonstration and validation.
• Payloads
  An alphabetically arranged catalogue presenting descriptions and known technical details of the sensor, avionic, display, defensive aids and offensive weapon systems installed aboard the various platforms detailed in this title. Individual entries within this section provide details of the particular equipment’s role, form and function, specifications and (where possible) its manufacturer. Here, readers are cautioned that in the case of legacy equipment, the contractor information given refers to either the original system developer (regardless of whether or not the company remains in business) or a successor company who has either absorbed the original developer or is currently (issue date) supporting the equipment. Readers should further note that in some cases, this information is a best estimate.
• Record Structure
  Alongside primary data records, this title also contains an Executive Overview, a Glossary, Conversion factors and Frequency band tables and Air Vehicle and Payloads Indices. Within a particular primary data record, the information given is arranged (where possible) as follows:
• Country of origin
  The country or countries in which the particular platform has been developed.
• Role
  A shorthand description of the particular platform’s purpose.
• Status
  Whether the particular platform is a proposal, in development, in use or is obsolete. With regard to the latter category, selected entries relating to obsolete air vehicles have been retained for comparative and/or archive purposes.
• Description
  An as comprehensive as possible description of the particular platform’s role, mission system/s, crewing arrangements (where relevant), physical performance (where relevant), armament (where relevant) and avionics.
• Programme history
  A timeline describing the particular platform’s development, deployment and operational use together with details of programme costs and contract activity. Programme history entries also include data on earlier variants of currently operational platforms and/or information on associated platforms where this is appropriate to a fuller understanding of the context in which a particular platform has been developed or is used. Readers should note that starting with Issue 19, programme history data published in hard copy format encompasses a five year period working backwards from the data of issue. More extensive programme histories that stretch back to project inception are available for each primary data record in the product’s electronic formats. Readers are also reminded that all dates appearing in this title are rendered in the European style (day/month/year) and conform with the Gregorian calendar.
• Operational deployment
  Data on the particular platform’s user service/s and units, their basing, formation dates and the specific examples assigned to them. A remarks section is included to amplify or qualify the given data as necessary.
• Related entries
  A cross-reference between particular entries and others that are associated with them by virtue of being a payload component and/or sharing common equipment, being based on a common platform type or being included in a common programme.

Wherever possible, entries are illustrated with a selection of interior and exterior views of the particular platform and its mission equipment together with a limited number of explanatory diagrams showing such things as antenna layouts, crew positions and the like.
