Senior Airman Angel Marroquin, 55th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, disconnects an external power cord from a RC-135V/W Rivet Joint Aug. 5, 2018 at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska. The aircraft is an extensively modified C-135. The Rivet Joint's modifications are primarily related to its on-board sensor suite, which allows the mission-crew to detect, identify and geolocate signals throughout the electromagnetic spectrum. The mission-crew can then forward gathered information in a variety of formats to a wide range of consumers via Rivet Joint's extensive communications suite.
