The Air Force’s first mission-ready EA-37 Compass Call aircraft flew into Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., last week, the start of a major upgrade to the service’s electronic warfare fleet.
The Air Force has changed the designation of the EC-37B to the EA-37B, the better to describe its mission of electronically attacking enemy systems. The 10 new aircraft will replace 14 EC-130H Compass Call aircraft, which are going into flyable storage.
