Another systems consideration governs the choice of detection character- istics of the early warning radars: back-up or overlapping coverage where the loss of an AEW aircraft due to enemy action or equipment failure leaves the task force undefended. The required detection range and AEW aircraft spacing for the assumed system may be analyzed by the simple geometrical model of Fig. Range Requirement , Reserve \ AEW #1 / AEW \ AEW #2 -^1 ^ ]^ \ (Nonradiating) ; During Normal Operation Guided Missile.
