The EA-37B Compass Call (formerly EC-37B) is an electronic warfare aircraft based on the Gulfstream G550 entering service with the United States Air Force with the first example delivered on 23 August 2024 to Davis–Monthan Air Force Base for crew training. The plane is replacing the EC-130H Compass Call. The role of the Compass Call is to disrupt enemy command and control communications, radars, and navigation systems, significantly hindering adversary coordination as part of the Counter-Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Targeting (Counter-C5ISRT) mission. The jet will be able to conduct jamming of radars, electronic systems and communications. It will thus be able to participate in Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) missions by disrupting an enemy's ability to coordinate sensors and use weapon batteries that target friendly aircraft.
