Electronic Attack (EA) Activity

JO 7110.65BB, Change 3, effective July 9, 2026 · Official text on faa.gov

  1. Refer all EA activity requests to the appropriate center supervisor.
  2. When EA activity interferes with the operational use of radar:
    1. EN ROUTE. Request the responsible military unit or aircraft, if initial request was received directly from pilot, to suspend the activity.
    2. TERMINAL. Request suspension of the activity through the ARTCC. If immediate cessation of the activity is required, broadcast the request directly to the EA aircraft on the emergency frequency. Notify the ARTCC of direct broadcast as soon as possible.
  3. When previously suspended activity will no longer interfere:
    1. EN ROUTE. Inform the NORAD unit or aircraft that it may be resumed.
    2. TERMINAL. Inform the ARTCC or aircraft that it may be resumed. Obtain approval from the ARTCC prior to broadcasting a resume clearance directly to the aircraft.
  4. In each stop request, include your facility name, type of EA activity (chaff dispensing- “stream”/“burst” or electronic jamming- “buzzer”), radar band affected and, when feasible, expected duration of suspension.
