How the Australian E-7A Wedgetail went from on the edge to cutting edge

Summary

KEY POINTS:

1. The Australian aircraft was asked to direct operations over Iraq when a US E-3 Sentry became unserviceable.
2. The E-7 had half as many crew as an E-3 but proved more reliable.
3. Early on, however, the E-7 was on Defence’s list of projects of concern.
