Episode 208 – Compass Call: Operator Insights
Author: Ana Maria Waldo
In this Aerospace Advantage episode,
Heather “Lucky” Penney chats about electronic attack with Col JR Smith,
commander of the 55th Electronic Combat Group.
Maintaining an electromagnetic-based battlespace advantage is essential for
twenty first century mission success. That’s why the EC-130H and the new EA-37B
are so important. They execute a mission the Air Force calls Compass Call:
disrupting enemy command, control, communications, radars, and navigation
systems. This allows U.S. forces to maintain a decision advantage, while
denying this to the adversary. Nor is Compass Call just about the aircraft and
mission systems. Highly trained airmen are key. Compass Call assets also
partner with EA-18Gs and F-16CJs as part of a team to facilitate the Suppression
of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD). This episode will explore this mission—how it has
developed, current considerations, and where it is going from an operator
perspective.
