The Electronic Systems Center (ESC) manages the development and
acquisition of electronic command and control (C2) systems. These systems
gather and analyze information on potentially hostile forces, enabling
commanders to make quick decisions and rapidly pass them on to their forces.
In other words, C2 systems help to direct the muscle of America's air-power
arsenal to the right target at the right time. ESC doesn't design or
manufacture equipment; civilian contractors do that. The Center translates
operational users’ needs into a form that can be put on contract,
asks for proposals from industry, selects contractors, and monitors the
developing contractor’s progress. ESC manages more than 150 programs
One of the best known is AWACS, the Airborne Warning and Control System.
Originally developed in the 1970's, AWACS' saucer-shaped radar simultaneously
tracks up to 300 airborne and ocean-going targets up to 250 miles away.
The Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System is another premier program.
Joint STARS, using a modified Boeing 707 with the canoe-shaped radar mounted
under the forward fuselage, provides real-time data on ground targets to
Army and Air Force commanders. Other areas of interest for ESC are radios,
navigation and air traffic control systems, intelligence systems, electronic
physical security systems, weather systems, and management information
systems. (See Chapter 3 for a listing of goods and services purchased in
support of base operations.)
The organizations listed below (38 EIW, CPSG, MSG, and SSG) report to
the ESC Commander but have their own procurement and small business
staff:
