USAF-ANG C-130J 98-1355 sits in the Benefield Anechoic Facility at Edwards AFB, California during a defensive systems electronic warfare test. Ground testing of the systems took place in the chamber to ensure all of the systems integrated into the mission computer would not interfere with other avionics systems before the aircraft began operational test flights. Open-air testing of the integrated defensive systems began October 7th at China Lake Naval Weapons Center. [USAF photo by Thomas Powell]
