EADS has ZERO AWACS experiance. Also the plne the RAAF want is not a dome top. new technology.

EADS may not have any, but IAI Elta does

The dome top is just styling, The radar was going to be the Raytheon/IAI Elta Phalcon ESA (you know, the phased array system that actually works)

They should have bought the 767 AWACS, Japans have been in service since 2000 and they have 4 of them.
