Summary edit

Description
English: A Sentinel R1 surveillance aircraft is pictured in the Middle East.

Royal Air Force personnel, deployed to 902 Expeditionary Air Wing (EAW) in the Middle East, continue to support coalition troops on the ground in Afghanistan.

Until recently, 5 (Army Co-operation) Squadron have been operating simultaneously over the skies of Afghanistan and Mali, highlighting the adaptability and capability of the asset and its personnel.

Now operating solely from 902 EAW in the Middle East, it is in direct support of Operation Herrick. As a result of the transition of security responsibility in Afghanistan, it routinely provides support to ISAF and Afghan forces.

5 (AC) Squadron’s Sentinel aircraft uses the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) to provide invaluable information used in the tracking and prosecution of enemy ground forces.

As with all modern aircraft in the world of Intelligence Surveillance Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR), Sentinel is unable to operate without the support of its engineering and support staffs. They work hand in hand with personnel from 902 EAW support elements in order to ensure the crew and aircraft are continually prepared for sorties.
