The acronym ECO stands for Electronic Countermeasures Officer.

The ECO is responsible for the electronic countermeasures on a Raptor (Miniseries, "33"). ECOs also operate computer equipment, including scanning and detection equipment ("Water," "The Hand of God").

ECOs are pilots who also are certified to fly a Raptor if the primary pilot is incapacitated or unavailable. 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 faces chronic pilot and ship shortages, ECOs like Racetrack pull 'double-duty' as both Raptor or Viper pilots (Exodus, Part II).
