The 461st Air Control Wing is the only active duty Air Force wing operating the E-8C Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS), an advanced ground surveillance and battle management system. Joint STARS detects, locates, classifies, tracks and targets ground movements on the battlefield, communicating real-time information through secure data links with U.S. Forces command posts. They operate the aircraft out of Robins AFB, GA and multiple ‘world-wide’ locations. This is the ‘FRIDAY’ Crest patch for the Wing and does come with velcro attached.
