@snugglecity3500 True outgoing signals can be tracked but AESA makes that harder to do as its LPI Additionally ,the EA-18 uses INCANS Interference Cancellation system which allows for comms to work while jamming The NGJ pods can tune the jamming more efficiently so interferes less with friendly systems and focus solely on the enemy

With the advent of longer range missiles, it makes more sense to use a transport The next gen of tankers and transports will be much stealthier so makes more sense to use one of those a flying airborne command and control for drones that only a few miles behind the strike group

@snugglecity3500 B-2s are the size of AWACS but posses an RCS substantially smaller The design would be similar to the B-2 just enlarged some areas to accommodation additional crew and equipment but still maintain the lower RCS

@snugglecity3500 In this case , its really not a race The measure vs countermeasure race has been going for decades but its reaching it peak The newer generation of air to air missiles have seekers accurate enough that they can target incoming missiles both air to air as well SAMs It wouldnt been surprising if tankers, AWACS and other C4ISTAR aircraft get stealthy enclosed weapons pods (EWP) mounted on the wings to carry missiles for self defense That kinda makes it hard for Russian and Chinese aircraft to one shot with long range AIM Also remember that various companies are testing airborne laser pods for missile defense While it may be problem for fighter size aircraft, tankers, AWACS and other C4ISTAR have ample space to house 150kW-300kW weapon or even simpler is that you take transport and fit it with 500kW to have it act as shield to deal with incoming missiles Will it force enemy aircraft to engage visually , not likely because due the range of AIM-260, AIM-174 and AIM-120D FR3, they would only get one shot off before someone targets them
