The militaries of the US and other countries have used the civilian 707 aircraft in a variety of roles, and under different designations. (The 707 and US Air Force's KC-135 were developed in parallel from the Boeing 367–80 prototype.)

The Boeing E-3 Sentry is a US military [[airborne warning and control system]] (AWACS) aircraft based on the Boeing 707 that provides all-weather surveillance, command, control, and communications.

The [[Northrop Grumman E-8 Joint STARS]] is an aircraft modified from the Boeing 707-300 series commercial airliner. The E-8 carries specialized radar, communications, operations and control subsystems. The most prominent external feature is the 40&nbsp;ft (12 m) canoe-shaped radome under the forward fuselage that houses the 24&nbsp;ft (7.3 m) APY-7 active electronically scanned array side looking airborne radar antenna.

The VC-137 variant of the Stratoliner was a special-purpose design meant to serve as [[Air Force One]], the secure transport for the [[President of the United States]]. These models were in operational use from 1962 to 1990. The first presidential jet aircraft, a VC-137B designated SAM 970, is on display at the [[Museum of Flight]] in Seattle. Two VC-137C aircraft are on display with [[VC-137C SAM 26000|SAM 26000]] at the [[National Museum of the United States Air Force]] near [[Dayton, Ohio]] and [[VC-137C SAM 27000|SAM 27000]] at the [[Ronald Reagan Presidential Library]] in [[Simi Valley, California]].

The [[Canadian Forces]] also operated the Boeing 707 with the designation [[Boeing CC-137|CC-137 Husky]] (707-347C) from 1971 to 1997.

Boeing 717 was the company designation for the [[Boeing C-135 Stratolifter|C-135 Stratolifter]] and [[Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker|KC-135 Stratotanker]] derivatives of the 367-80. (The 717 designation was later reused in renaming the McDonnell Douglas MD-95 to [[Boeing 717]] after the company merged with Boeing.)<ref>[http://www.boeing.com/news/frontiers/archive/2006/july/i_history.pdf "Historical Perspective, Start of a PROUD MISSION"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140612010633/http://www.boeing.com/news/frontiers/archive/2006/july/i_history.pdf |date=June 12, 2014}}.
