Airmen from the 455th Expeditionary Maintenance Group conduct routine maintenance on an EC-130H Compass Call on Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, Sept. 30, 2018. 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. It primarily supports tactical air operations but also can provide jamming support to ground force operations. Modifications to the aircraft include an electronic countermeasures system, air refueling capability and associated navigation and communications systems.
