GlobalEye combines long-range and swing-role surveillance capabilities with a robust multi-role ability, enabling simultaneous airborne, maritime, and ground surveillance, as well as signals intelligence.

Its fully integrated sensor suite includes the Erieye Extended Range (ER) AESA surveillance radar, an electro-optical (EO) sensor, an EO/IR turret, and an under-fuselage maritime radar, providing a true and joint picture for air, maritime, and ground forces.

GlobalEye can detect, identify and track all kinds of targets – even in severe clutter and challenging jamming conditions – from traditional aircraft of all sizes, fighters, cruise missiles and helicopters to stealthy airborne and maritime targets, including anything from jet skis and rigid-hulled inflatable boats (RHIBs), submarine periscopes and even surface object. GlobalEye can also detect smaller entities, also from great distances, which necessary for detecting new, low-observable flying objects and asymmetric threats.

Seamless Integration and Improved Survivability

Designed for seamless integration with fighters and joint forces, GlobalEye reduces the need for Combat Air Patrol (CAP), allowing more efficient use of resources. Its elevated long-range sensors provide crucial early warning time, ensuring improved survivability of assets.

GlobalEye's cutting-edge passive sensors suite includes ultra-wide band digital receivers and artificial intelligence (AI) for robust signal processing and analysis.

With its 11+ hours of operational endurance, the Bombardier Global 6000/6500 aircraft is perfectly suited for AEW&C missions, providing ideal working conditions for all crew members.

Reliable Performance in Peace, Crisis, or War

GlobalEye's ability to provide long-range air, sea, and land surveillance in real-time makes it an essential asset for maintaining peace and stability in times of peace, crisis, or war. It supports government and military forces with real-time information, allowing for swift and decisive actions.
