The Defense Systems Operator (DSO) sat in the third seat. He controlled a powerful electronic countermeasures (ECM) system to blind enemy radars, including an AN/ALQ-16 active jammer and an AN/ALE-16 chaff dispenser. If an enemy fighter still managed to get on the Hustler's tail, an unlikely event since the aircraft moved so fast and at altitudes above the ceilings of most contemporary fighters, the DSO could direct the Vulcan cannon in the tail "stinger" via a radarscope to engage the fighter.
