The L3Harris EA-37B Compass Call is a new addition to the United States Air Force's electronic warfare fleet. Based on the Gulfstream G550, this aircraft was delivered for pilot training on August 23, 2024, at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona. It is set to replace the older EC-130H Compass Call and offers enhanced capabilities for disrupting enemy command and control operations.
According to the United States Air Force, "The primary purpose of the Compass Call electronic warfare jet is to assist in the disruption of enemy command and control operations." The aircraft can perform various missions including counter-command and intelligence gathering.
This modified private jet supports military initiatives by jamming radars and disrupting communication lines. Its main offensive capability lies in "the disruption of enemy sensor coordination," as stated by defense sources.
