TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. (AETCNS) -- Senior Airman Jennifer Dantzler, 28th Test Squadron/Detachment 2 electronic warfare technician, hooks up wires to an electronic warfare defense pod used on Air Force fighter jets. The squadron, one of Tyndall’s tenant units, won the Air Force Association’s 2006 Theodore Von Karman Award for outstanding contributions to national defense in the field of science and engineering related to aerospace activities. Electronic warfare systems and its associated capabilities are part of more than 400 test missions in support of 17 programs accomplished in 2006 across the combat Air Forces. Specifically, the pod in the picture is an essential tool for testing and training on F-15 and F-16 aircraft radar and avionics suites. (U.S. Air Force photo by Chrissy Cuttita)
