As I understand it, AWACS can track ground targets (it can catch speeding cars if it wants). But I gather its primary role is airborne surveillence and command. J-STARS is the one mostly geared for ground targets.
Hmmm, this is interesting. I'd like to see this into fruitition.

The two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.
