An EC-130H Compass Call flies a training mission over Lake Mead, Ariz.
Compass Call is the designation for a modified version of the C-130
Hercules aircraft configured to perform tactical command, control and
communications countermeasures. Specifically, the modified aircraft
uses noise jamming to prevent communication or degrade the transfer of
information essential to command and control of weapon systems and
other resources. Modifications to the aircraft include an electronic
countermeasures system, air refueling capability and associated
navigation and communications systems. (U.S. Air Force photo)
