L3Harris Technologies and BAE Systems have successfully delivered the first of 10 EC-37B Compass Call aircraft to the U.S. Air Force for formal combined developmental and operational testing. This next-generation system represents an evolution of the Air Force’s 40-year mission of employing electromagnetic attack (EA) capabilities in support of U.S. and coalition air, surface, and special operations forces.
As the mission system prime, BAE Systems produces the Compass Call Airborne Electromagnetic Attack mission system at its Hudson, New Hampshire facility. This mission system plays a critical role in disrupting enemy communications, radars, and navigation systems, as well as suppressing enemy air defenses by preventing the transmission of essential information between adversaries, weapon systems, and command-and-control networks.
