The JSECST is a highly specialized electronic warfare system tester that provides automated end-to-end (ETE) functional testing of EC systems on operational aircraft, including the F-15, F-16, A-10, C-130, and CV-22 Osprey. This organizational-level (O-level) flightline system quickly determines the go/no-go status of aircraft-installed EC systems, including antennas, transmission lines, radomes, cockpit displays and controls, and communication buses, while also offering diagnostic capabilities for malfunctions. Textron Systems Corporation has designed, manufactured, and sustained JSECST and associated sub-assemblies for more than 20 years.
