BAE Systems and L3Harris Technologies have combined their forces in order to create and deliver an electronic attack aircraft to the U.S. Air Force in the form of the 'EC-37B Compass Call,' which is designed to offer exceptionally quiet and largely imperceptible yet highly precise warfare capabilities.
The 'EC-37B' is an electronic attack aircraft is not designed to spew out missiles or gunfire but is rather aimed at carrying out high-end electronic warfare in the form of disrupting enemy communications, radar and electronic systems in order to provide a tactical advantage to U.S. Air Force operations. Measuring in at 29 meters long, the 'EC-37B Compass Call' is an electronic attack aircraft that offers an increase in speed and range over the venerable 'EC-130H Compass Call' whilst also reducing weight and operating costs.
"As the Air Force sunsets its 40-year-old EC-130H fleet, the cutting-edge EC-37B will empower the customer to continue serving its vital electromagnetic warfare mission for generations to come," observed Jason Lambert, president of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance over at L3Harris.
