If it weren't for "fancy software," nobody could have even operated
"old" jamming tech. Pretty much everything since 1970 has relied on
computing power to handle the actual work when it comes to ECM, and the

The computing power on B-52H ECM up to the early 80's when I retired
was still mostly the EWO. SAC wasn't exactly a leader in ECM
technology..


The B-52 ECM suite at that time was still basically 1950s tech.
Hydraulically-tuned magnetrons and the like.
