Late last year the 36th Electronic Warfare Squadron traveled to Langley Air Force Base, Va., and met with Air Combat Command to discuss efforts to sustain the service life of Electronic Attack (EA) Pods, increase the availability of parts for essential repairs across the Air Force, and ensure the warfighter has continued electronic warfare (EW) capabilities across multiple areas of responsibility.

Schlim, 36th Electronic Warfare Squadron technician, removes a water-fill port tube on a AN/ALQ-184 Electronic Attack Pod for the Reclamation of Electronic Attack Pods (REAP) Program at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, September 15, 2022. The REAP program involves two goals; first, to provide diagnostic capabilities for assets received from reclaimed ALQ- AN/ALQ-184 Pods and second; to provide the U.S. Air Force the most cost-effective solution to introduce assets back into supply to sustain the fleet.
