(Senior Airman Paige Weldon\/Air Force)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Compass Call\u2019s systems also allow airmen to hack into wireless devices and defuse roadside bombs. ACC says the new planes will protect U.S. and partner forces from attack, and allow them to get closer to their targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EA-37B will replace the Air Force\u2019s decades-old EC-130H Compass Call fleet, which was flown heavily during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and are now being retired. Nine EC-130Hs have so far been retired, out of the fleet of 14 older Compass Calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EA-37B\u2019s mission and capabilities will be largely similar to those of the older EC-130s, Air Force officials have said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the new Compass Call\u2019s air frame is expected to bring significant altitude and speed improvements over its predecessor. The EC-130 could fly up to 25,000 feet and up to 300 miles per hour, but the G550 air frame that the EA-37B is being built on can top 40,000 feet of altitude and nearly double the speed of the older aircraft. L3Harris said that will allow the new Compass Call to target a greater range of enemy activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force already has two EA-37Bs devoted to testing, operated by Air Force Materiel Command; the first of those was delivered in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest EA-37B will initially be used to train pilots and aircrew in operating the aircraft before taking on actual missions, ACC said. The aircraft It is assigned to the 55th Electronic Combat Group at Davis-Monthan, which reports to the 55th Wing at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Davis-Monthan expects to receive its second EA-37B by the end of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;It flies like a dream,&#8221; ACC head Gen.
