This research provides optimal orbit locations that can be updated according to the threats, for Turkish AEW and C aircraft in the combat arena. Three combat scenarios Turkey might encounter are examined. Turkey can expect threats from everywhere. The worst cases for these scenarios include bad weather conditions and in Electronic Counter Measure (ECM) environment, adversary Surface to Air Missile (SAM) sites which are located in areas unknown to Turkish intelligence and no Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD) aircraft which can eliminate the SAM sites using High Speed Anti-Radiation Missiles (HARM). The concern is to cover and detect the threats as far as possible from Turkey without entering the lethal range of adversary SAM sites and airfields. The goal is to help decision makers decide how many AEW aircraft are needed to obtain full coverage. In order to provide optimum results, a Maximal Coverage Location Problem technique is used and the model is coded in MATLAB 2008a. | Determining The Orbit Locations Of Turkish Airborne Early Warning And Control Aircraft Over The Turkish Air Space by Nebi Sarikaya, Paperback
