The E-6 is found in two variants both built from a basic Boeing 707-300. The E-6A was designed to replace the EC-130[?] and was accepted by the US Navy in August 1989, sixteen were delivered up to 1992. The E-6B was a modified E-6A with additional equipment and positions to replace the EC-135. The E-6B includes an airborne launch control system, allowing it to fire the US ICBM arsenal. The first E-6B was accepted in December 1997 and the entire E-6 fleet is in the process of being modified to the E-6B standard.
