US Air Force will get improved aircraft Reb: how do they "set" Russia and China

In the near future, engineers intend to make the first flight to test the capabilities of the new model. It should replace outdated EC-130H radio planes. The EC-37B is built on the Gulfstream G550 civilian aircraft, but is intended for military needs. The US soldiers expect to get a plane that can be fully used in the field without the need for constant maintenance of the depot, as required by EC-130H.

Compared to the old model, the Gulfstream G550 platform has a higher speed, endurance and flight range, which is very important for combat missions. The high "survivability" implies that 10 EC-37B aircraft will provide the same power of HRB as 14 EC-130H, very demanding in maintenance. The creators promise the US Air Force aircraft with improved opportunities to suppress the radars of early warning, as well as the fight against hostile radio -electronic obstacles.

The Compass Call system inhibits the enemy's connection with command points and management stations, violating the coordination required by the enemy of the fighting forces. The means of EWS are necessary to support the tactical air, surrounding and special forces of the United States and allies, they are also important for suppressing the enemy's air defense.

Earlier it was written that the US Air Force allocated funding for 10 EC-37B aircraft to replace the EC-130H, the latter were removed from weapons due to engine defects. In addition, the army decided to get rid of five squadrony electromagnetic eA-18G attacks, which were its main electromagnetic weapons. On March 9, US Defense Defense representative John Sherman said the funds of the Reb will help surpass Russia and China on the battlefield.
