L3Harris Technologies is the Trusted Disruptor for the global aerospace and defense industry.
Dave Harrold, Vice President and General Manager of Countermeasure & Electromagnetic Attack, BAE Systems, said “The delivery of the first EC-37B Compass Call is a major milestone for our customer’s electromagnetic attack capabilities. We take pride in delivering this critical EW capability to keep the U.S. at the vanguard for defense and deterrence.”
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.
Jason Lambert, President, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, L3Harris, said “Our team accomplished the incredible challenge of migrating the Compass Call mission equipment from the much larger EC-130H and fully integrating it into the Gulfstream G550 platform. As the Air Force sunsets its 40-year-old EC-130H fleet, the cutting-edge EC-37B will empower the customer to continue serving its vital electromagnetic warfare mission for generations to come.”
BAE Systems, Inc. and its 34,000 employees are part of a global defense, aerospace, and security company with 89,600 employees worldwide.
The EC-37B boasts increased speed, endurance, and high-altitude operation, enhancing survivability and range to deliver EA effects.
