Air Force Kills JSTARS Upgrade
Military.com 12 Feb 2018 By Oriana Pawlyk
The Air Force will not move forward with an E-8C Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System replacement aircraft, officials confirmed.
The service on Monday announced that the current JSTARS fleet -- capable of developing, detecting, locating and tracking moving targets on the ground -- will fly into the mid-2020s, but as officials carve out future battle management plans, a new JSTARS aircraft won't be necessary, officials said during the Air Force's fiscal 2019 budget rollout briefing.
