Loadsmith has it right. It was a highly sensitive Radar system. I know because I was working on (SKE) Station Keeping Equipment at Langley when it first showed up and we needed 1 AWADs plane to lead for 0 - 0 visibility ferry operations. The round radome on top of the forward fusalage is SKE antennas.
What units and how many aircraft were modified with AWADS?
in C-130 General
