AWACS is responsible for alerting the player to enemies around them in a similar format to the real life BRAA (Bearing, Range, Altitude, Aspect) format used by NATO. This AWACS's format is enemy type (fighter, attacker, bomber), then bearing of said enemy, then distance of said enemy, and then aspect (used to indicate what direction the enemy is moving, words used are 'hot', 'flank', 'beam' and 'drag').
