Operation Igloo White was a covert United States joint military electronic warfare operation conducted from late January 1968 until February 1973, during the Vietnam War. These missions were carried out by the 553d Reconnaissance Wing, a U.S. Air Force unit flying modified EC-121R Warning Star aircraft, and VO-67, a specialized U.S. Navy unit flying highly modified OP-2E Neptune aircraft. This state-of-the-art operation utilized electronic sensors, computers, and communications relay aircraft in an attempt to automate intelligence collection. The system would then assist in the direction of strike aircraft to their targets. The objective of those attacks was the logistical system of the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) that snaked through southeastern Laos and was known as the Ho Chi Minh T

  • Die Operation Igloo White (auch kurz Igloo White) war eine US-amerikanische Militäroperation im Vietnamkrieg in den Jahren 1968 bis 1973. Hintergrund war die geplante Zerstörung des gut getarnten Ho-Chi-Minh-Pfads, eines logistischen Netzes aus Straßen und anderen Verkehrswegen, das von Nordvietnam über Laos und Kambodscha nach Südvietnam führte. Dazu wurden im Rahmen der Operation elektronische Sensoren aus Flugzeugen abgeworfen. Diese registrierten Geräusche und meldeten diese an in der Nähe tieffliegende Flugzeuge. (de)
  • L’opération Igloo White est une opération secrète de guerre électronique conduite par l’USAF de fin janvier 1968 à février 1973, pendant la guerre du Viêt Nam.Cette opération sophistiquée utilisait des capteurs électroniques, des ordinateurs et des relais de communication aéroportés dans l'idée d'automatiser la collecte de renseignements. Le système pouvait alors être utilisé pour guider les bombardiers sur leurs cibles. L'objectif de ces attaques visait le réseau logistique de l'armée nord-vietnamienne qui serpentait à travers le Sud-Est du Laos et qui était connu sous le nom de piste Hô Chi Minh (route Truong Son pour les Nord-Vietnamiens).
