Acronym: Electronic Countermeasures Officer
Overview[edit]
The ECO is responsible for the Electronic Countermeasures functionality on the Raptor. (Miniseries, 33) ECOs also operate computer equipment, including scanning and detection equipment. (Water, The Hand of God).
ECOs apparently have at least a basic ability to fly a Raptor if the dedicated pilot is incapacitated or unavailable, as Crashdown pilots his Raptor when his pilot Karma is killed (Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I), and Racetrack pilots a Raptor on several occasions (Fragged, Final Cut). As Galactica is facing a chronic manpower shortage, ECOs like Racetrack may now be pulling 'double-shifts' piloting Raptors on a regular basis.
ECOs[edit]
- Lt. Karl C. "Helo" Agathon, Battlestar Galactica
- Crashdown, Battlestar Galactica
- Lt. Margaret "Racetrack" Edmonson, Battlestar Galactica
