1 Headquarters U.S. Air Force Integrity - Service - Excellence EC-130H COMPASS CALL Major George Sherman 755 OSS 31 Mar 1 Apr 04 Integrity - Service - Excellence

2 OVERVIEW What is Jamming? What is COMPASS CALL? War Stories Operation ENDURING FREEDOM Operation IRAQI FREEDOM 2-Minute Jamming Movie

3 What is Jamming? Jamming is using radio waves to deny hostile forces the use of radio waves. Jamming can target Radios RADAR Navigation Other over-the-airwaves systems

4 1940 British jamming of German RADAR Jamming History Nov 1941 Libya Campaign First airborne jamming First communications jamming Excellent effect against German tank radios D-Day Normandy Invasion Over 600 air-, sea-, and land-based jammers Critical RADAR and communications jamming

5 COMPASS CALL Mission Provide Combatant Commanders combat-ready COMPASS CALL aircraft and crews trained to execute an Information Warfare strategy Degrade the transfer of information essential to hostile command and control of weapon systems and other resources Jam Enemy Communications

6 COMPASS CALL Organization HEADQUARTERS ACC LANGLEY AFB 8 TH AIR FORCE BARKSDALE AFB 55 TH WING OFFUTT AFB 55 TH ELECTRONIC COMBAT GROUP 41 ST ECS 43 RD ECS 755 TH OSS 755 TH AMXS DAVIS-MONTHAN AFB

7 COMPASS CALL AIRCRAFT C-130 airframe permanently modified to C-130H Standard crew of 13 Air refuelable Additional radios Extra generators Jamming equipment Optional QRCs Self-Protection Install Underway

8 COMPASS CALL BLOCKS Block 20 (6 aircraft assigned to 43 ECS) Good basic systems with some QRC capability Block 30 (8 aircraft assigned to 41 ECS) Improved receivers, better jamming, and greater QRC capability Some Block 30 aircraft are SPEAR-capable Block 35 (12 of 14 funded for fleet upgrade) More power, greater frequency range, SPEAR Improved reliability

9 COMPASS CALL/SPEAR Offers more capabilities to the Combatant Commanders High powered, precise energy Very directional

10 HOW COMPASS CALL WORKS Aircraft system discovers signal Automatically geo-locates and queues for crew Mission crew listens to signal 5 linguists, 2 special signals experts, 1 EWO and 1 maintenance tech Jam/No-Jam decision, based on Rules of Engagement Jamming occurs on specific frequencies (specific signals) at crew s discretion

11 SEAD TRIAD COMM JAMMERS HARM SHOOTERS RADAR JAMMERS

12 COMPASS CALL CHANGING COMPASS CALL began as a communications jammer supporting suppression of enemy air defenses Still a communications jammer, but now also targets RADAR Navigation Other over-the-airwaves systems Still SEAD, but supports ground and special operations

13 Challenging Environment Focus on Ground and Special Ops CALL IN OEF (Afghanistan) High Risk Go/No-Go Asset Mission Successes

14 COMPASS CALL IN OEF Rapid Deployment Flew in Every Major Engagement Mission Critical Asset ZERO friendly loss of life or materiel when COMPASS CALL was On Station in direct support.

15 COMPASS CALL IN OIF (Iraq) Emphasis again on Ground and Spec Ops Over 2,000 hours on 200+ combat sorties

16 COMPASS CALL IN OIF (Iraq) Ground offensive from Basrah to Nasariyah, Najaf, Baghdad, & Tikrit

17 COMPASS CALL IN OIF (Iraq) POW Rescues

18 COMPASS CALL IN OIF (Iraq) Al Faw Takedown Airfield Seizures

19 OEF/OIF COMPASS CALL flying closer to the threat than ever before No Self Protection Systems yet COMPASS CALL scheduled to get limited Self Protection Systems this year IR only Great receiver, older flare dispenser (not DIRCM/LAIRCM)
