What exactly does an AWACS do? (Both in FS2, and what an AWACS can possibly do (jam comms? etc))?

Can see through nebulas (range of expanded sensor range determined by a SEXP). Can jam comms, I think. Mostly used as an early-warning system.

they jam enemy com going out of the system (calling reinforcements, ect).

they can make good renders.

A real life AWACS (Airborne Warning And Command System) such as the E-2C and the E-3 are detection and control units.  They are used to detect hostile craft and generate intercept data for combat craft.  I personally do not have any knowledge of EW capability that such craft posses (probably has some really slick ECCM gear though).
