The EB-1C Vampire. Based on the philosophy of the EB-52 Megafortress, the EB-1C is a quick response air battle command aircraft, that sports advanced sensors and computer systems. The EB-1C can fly with only a crew of 2, through the use of a "vitrual crew" that stays at the airfield and controls and communicates via datalink. These men are responsible for managing any C3 and UCAV tasks. The primary task of the EB-1C is to coordinate air warfare, and provide a springboard for virtual crew operating the U/MF-5 StealthHawk Attack UCAV or U/MF-6 AirHawk Fighter UCAV. The "Virtual Crew" remain at base, or at another C3 post, and communicate and control any UCAVs the EB-1C may be carrying. The EB-1C, through the use of advanced techniques and systems, can actually deploy and retrieve UCAVs through it's 3 bomb bays with the aid of computer piloting. These UCAVs can be refueled and rearmed in the bays, and then sent off for another mission. Another unique aspect of the EB-1C is the "Smart Skin", thousands of microhydraulics under the skin on the fuselage that can adjust the fuselage slightly to create more lift, along with STOL engines, which allows the EB-1C to take off with it's wings swept back.
