Overview
The ECO is responsible for the ECM-functionality on the Raptor. (Mini-Series,33) ECOs also operate the computer equipment, including scanners and detection equipment. (Water, The Hand of God).
ECO's apparenly have at least a basic ability to pilot a Raptor if the dedicated pilot is incapacitated or unavailable, as Crashdown piloted his Raptor when his pilot Karma was killed ("Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I"), and Racetrack has been seen piloting a Raptor on several occasions ("Fragged", "Final Cut"). As Galactica is facing a constant manpower shortage, ECO's like Racetrack may now be pulling 'double-shifts' piloting Raptors on a regular basis.
