    A USAF military helicopter, bearing tail number 14483, is positioned inside a large anechoic chamber lined with pyramid-shaped RF/acoustic absorber foam on all walls and ceiling. The helicopter appears to be undergoing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) or radar cross-section testing, suspended or stabilized with yellow lifting rigging and cables. The controlled testing environment is designed to eliminate external electromagnetic interference or sound reflections.

    A 413th Flight Test Squadron HH-60W hangs in the anechoic chamber at the Joint Preflight Integration of Munitions and Electronic Systems hangar Jan. 6 at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. The Whiskey entered the chamber for approximately seven weeks of defensive systems testing. The J-PRIMES anechoic chamber is a room designed to stop internal reflections of electromagnetic waves, as well as insulate from exterior sources of electromagnetic noise. J-PRIMES provides this environment to facilitate testing air-to-air and air-to-surface munitions and electronics systems on full-scale aircraft and land vehicles prior to open air testing.
