L-3 Communications yesterday announced upgrading the EP-3E with its first multi-intelligence capability as part of the Pentagon's ISR surge, but declined all requests to elaborate on what new intelligence collectors were actually added.
Luckily, the company released a photo today of the first upgraded EP-3E that reveals at least two of the major changes.
An electro-optical/infrared ball is now installed just ahead of the nose gear door, and a dorsal radome that appears to be a satcom antenna is installed on top of the aft fuselage just behind the cockpit.
