Block 20 Communications Relay Allows Close Air Support Pilots to connect with Ground Forces up to 10 times sooner at 300 miles away

rather than 30 miles result: more accurate and safer firepower when needed.

Lt Gen Stephen Mueller, Vice Commander, USAFE: Block 20 Com Relay is a game changer

Block 10 34,000 hours and 1,700 sorties since

Jan 2006 6.5 sorties per week average
