The wingtip device with the antennas is an ACMI pod. It transmits positional and air-data real-time to a ground-based computer, as well as things like weapons-actuation and other data. During debrief, the information can be used to place the jet on a computer like a 3D video game, and everyone can see exactly what happened. They are used in all large-scale exercises and are incredibly valuable tools.
