EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the impressive RAF Sentinel R1 aircraft, a vital asset in the operations of 902 Expeditionary Air Wing (902 EAW) based in Afghanistan. This particular aircraft belongs to 5 (AC) Squadron and is deployed at 902 EAW to provide crucial support to ISAF and Coalition ground forces. As an intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance platform, the Sentinel R1 plays a pivotal role in enabling ground force commanders to make informed decisions on tactical and operational matters. Its advanced sensors gather detailed information that aids real-time decision-making during missions. The primary responsibilities of 902 EAW's Sentinel detachment include overseeing ground forces during operations, tracking enemy movements, and disrupting their supply routes. With around 200 personnel comprising its Force Elements (FE), this dedicated team ensures that air power can be effectively delivered wherever it is needed. The RAF Sentinel R1 is equipped with cutting-edge technology such as ASTOR (Airborne Stand-Off Radar) for ground mapping and iSTAR (Intelligence Surveillance Target Acquisition Reconnaissance). These capabilities allow the aircraft to excel in its mission objectives while providing invaluable support to troops on the ground. This print serves as a reminder of the dedication and expertise exhibited by both aircrew and technical personnel within 902 EAW who work tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure that our armed forces have access to critical intelligence gathering capabilities.
