The U.S. Air Force Air Combat Command disclosed last week that, effective Oct.27, 2023, the EC-37B has been redesignated to become the EA-37B to better identify the platform’s mission of finding, attacking and destroying enemy land or sea targets. The U.S. Air Force is projecting its electronic attack capabilities into the future, upgrading and transitioning the Compass Call airborne tactical electronic attack weapon system from the 40 years old EC-130H to the new EC-37B. The mission crew can include the mission crew commander (electronic warfare officer), weapon system officer (electronic warfare officer), mission crew supervisor (an experienced cryptologic linguist), analysis operators (linguists), one acquisition operator and/or an airborne maintenance technician.
