      I believe it’s just heavily shielded to prevent EMP from destroying all the electronic surfaces in it. If I remember correctly, it’s outfitted with a ton of comms equipment that duplicate central systems on the ground, so should they be destroyed, this thing just takes off and continuously refuels and flies to prevent getting destroyed, and it keeps military comms running so they can keep launching nukes or whatever.
