What do you guys think on "AEW Drones" ? So basically instead of relying on large radar like usual AEW is. Instead, the manned element of the AEW controls some numbers of drones equipped with radars. Coordination is done via datalink. So the "drone controller" may still carry rotodome or just dome. But instead of radar it's a dedicated high speed datalinking antenna.
Keeping the transmitter on the plane and just putting a receiver on the drone seems better to me.
