Boeing delivered the fourth and final Peace Eye airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft to the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF). The fleet was acquired by Korea’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA).

Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) modified and supported testing of three of the four 737-based aircraft. Local companies such as Korean Air Aerospace Division (technical services, spares and related parts-handling services), LIG Nex1 (networking and training), Samsung Thales (mission crew training), Boeing Training Services Korea (flight crew training) and Huneed Technologies (ground-based datalinks communications system) delivered solutions and services to the project. Ground support segments for mission crew training, mission support and system maintenance were already delivered.

The aircraft based in the 737 commercial airliner is designed to provide airborne battle management capability with an advanced multirole electronically scanned radar and 10 state-of-the-art mission crew consoles that are able to track airborne and maritime targets simultaneously.

Boeing also has delivered six similar aircraft to Australia. Four other aircraft are in production for the Turkish Air Force.
