Notes & Sources
- Bomber/Special Electronic Warfare and Radar Surveillance Integrated Avionics (2A9X3) is a retired identifier: the conversion instructions embedded in the AFECD 30 Apr 23 delete the 2A953/2A973 ladder and convert holders to 2A954/2A954A/2A974 (Heavy Aircraft Integrated Avionics).
- The in-force directory carries no section for this code; electronic warfare and radar surveillance work is described in the 2A9X4 specialty, so the old code alone does not establish current duties.
