The E-4B “Nightwatch,” known as the “Doomsday Plane,” is a weaponized Boeing 747. It is the National Airborne Operations Center and an important part of the National Military Command System for the president, the secretary of defense, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
In the event of a national emergency or the loss of ground command, the aircraft “provides a highly survivable command, control, and communications center to direct U.S. forces, execute emergency war orders, and coordinate actions by civil authorities,” according to the US Air Force.
