Boeing 737
Indonesia operates 3 Boeing 737-2X9 Surveiller equipped with the Motorola Sideways Looking Airborne Modular Multi-mission Radar (SLAMMR). The aircraft are easily identified by the two radar antennae which are mounted on the rear fuselage in two canoe-shaped radomes.
The aircraft (AI-7301, AI-7302 and AI-7303) are operated by Skwadron Udara 5 (SkU 5) based at Hasanuddin on maritime reconnaissance duties but are also believed to have a significant SIGINT capability. India is also believed to operate one or more Boeing 737’s in the SIGINT role. |
