SABER thrust

摘要

By the end of 2024, the United States Air Force (USAF) is planning to have procured the last of the Gulfstream G550 Conformal Airborne Early Warning (CAEW) aircraft - designated as the EC-37B - which will replace the Lockheed Martin EC-130H. The EC-37B will host the latest version of the Compass Call electronic warfare (EW) suite - a system that provides stand-off jamming capability, denying adversaries use of communications and radars, and therefore preventing them from gaining any situational awareness. It is a system that has been used by the EC-130H since 1982.
