US E-6B TACAMO conducts extended HF/VLF broadcasts

A US Navy E-6B TACAMO aircraft was tracked conducting an extended 8-hour mission over the IBEX and OAK BRAVO working areas. The aircraft broadcast Emergency Action Messages (EAMs) using HF and VLF frequencies, which are typically used for secure military communications, including nuclear command and control. The activity was monitored via live audio from air traffic control and flight tracking data, highlighting ongoing US strategic airborne operations. Such missions are routine but underscore the continuous readiness of US nuclear command and control assets.
