‘Angry Kitten’ EW Pod Tested on Search-and-Rescue HC-130

The Air Force recently tested its “Angry Kitten” electronic warfare pod on an HC-130J during Exercise Bamboo Shield, showing the pod can turn the rescue platform into a command-and-control node and protect it from enemy radars.The tests follow what could be the pod’s first use in combat after it was spotted on the wings of F-16CJ Vipers from the South Carolina Air National Guard in U.S. Central Command in late February and on board an Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon in a U.S. Central Command-released photo showing aircraft deployed in Operation Epic Fury.
