This aircraft belongs to a small and secretive fleet that supports American special operators around the world, including the shadowy Joint Special Operations Command, or JSOC. N80BZ is one of the US Special Operations Command's Tactical Airborne Multi-Sensor Platforms, or STAMP aircraft. The Beech is a dedicated intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance platform but has a special task in locating and monitoring hostile communications transmissions, like geo-locating emissions from cell phones. In that way the US Army can track particular individuals and spoof spoof wireless networks.
