IAI offers various Gulfstream SIGINT and CAEW versions for export. In July 2012 the Government of Italy signed a contract with IAI for two E-550A G550 CAEW aircraft for operation by the Italian Air Force (AMI).

The N849GA registration was reserved in December 2012. The aircraft (G550, c/n 5429) was built in 2013 and registered to Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. in May of that year. On 29/30 September 2015 the G550 was ferried from Savannah (GA) to Shannon and on to Tel Aviv, Israel.  It has a heavily-modified fuselage, small Italian roundels on the engines, Aeronautica Militare titles and code 14-11. The aircraft was noted test-flying wearing taped-on Israeli military serial 429 at Tel Aviv 18 February 2016. MM62293/14-11 returned on 19-12-2016 to the Italian AF in a IAI ceremony, after the mission equipment was installed in Israel.

On the 29th of June 2017, 14-11 arrived at Geilenkirchen NATO Air Base for the 35 years anniversary celebrations. The aircraft was shown to the public in the static display on 1 and 2 July.

The second AMI G550 CAEW 5454 (N554GA, c/n: 5454) was noted at Savannah (GA) as MM62294/14-12 on 27-04-2016 and in May 2016 in all grey c/s with Italian Air Force titles. It was ferried from Savannah (GA) to Shannon and on to Tel Aviv 28/29 June 2016 for interior fit. The N554GA registration was cancelled on 29 June. The 10th of August 2017 the aircraft was noted at Tel Aviv, Israel with temporary test serial 454/14-12.
