Commercial Airborne Electronic Combat Services Program

Phoenix Air’s leading role in providing sophisticated electronic warfare services to the military was recognized by the U.S. Navy awarding Phoenix Air a 10-year contract under the Commercial Airborne Electronic Combat Services Program (CAECSP).

CAECSP is a follow-on program for an airborne high-power radar jamming aircraft replacing the Navy’s EC-24 aircraft following the EC-24’s retirement from service.  Phoenix Air won this competitively bid contract by offering two highly modified Gulfstream G-I aircraft with crew, equipment and maintenance for high-power “A” thru “J” band radar jamming and communications jamming.  Capable of more than five-hours on station, the CAECSP Gulfstream G-I’s train airborne and shipboard fleet units to achieve and maintain EW combat superiority by using tactical procedures and concepts, and measuring and evaluating the results in support of U.S. Navy, U.S. DOD and NATO militaries worldwide. 

Outfitted with the latest suites of avionics and navigation equipment, the CAECSP aircraft are capable of providing worldwide radar and communications jamming to an operator-selectable list of radar systems.  Each CAECSP aircraft has the following capabilities:

    • Stand-Off Jamming
