How is it different from AEW&C system?

♤ AWACS is a heavier and high endurance system, which can give you in terms of coverage about 360 degrees as against AEW&C which is about 270 degree coverage.

♤ AWACS flies at a higher altitude and it can penetrate into the enemy territory by way of radars and EW (electronic warfare) systems to longer distances and it can be in sky for larger durations, besides giving better visibility.
