Communication nodes, missile defense, UAV controls, Airborne lasers...and the list goes on...(coffee service?) By the time they figure out how many ornaments they want to hang on that platform, the platform will be out of service... My question is…what aren’t they trying to mount on AWACS or Tankers?

Why don't we mount the new AWACS (E-10) radar on a stretched cargo second deck 747. The second deck would house the operators. The lower deck would house a couple 10 megawatt power modules & fuel. The aircraft would have a front turret mounted solid state laser with an final strenth in the single megawatt range. In addition the lower cargo bay could house two Standard missile Pac 3 missle bays. 10 missiles per bay for a total 20 missiles. The Stardard missile Pac3 already can be guided by the AWACS radar.
