The AEW (Airbourne Early Warning) version of the Sea King operates with one pilot and 2 observers. Because of the inflatable bag containing the Searchwater radar, the AEW helicopters soon obtained the nickname 'bags' and their crew 'baggers' or 'bagmen'.
The upgraded Air Surveilance and Control (ASaC.7) version entered service in 2002 and all the AEW.2's were convertedby 2004, being used extensively in the Gulf.
