List

AAQ-24 [r]: A Directed Infrared Countermeasures (DIRCM) active electronic device that uses intense light to dazzle or burn out infrared missile seekers [e] AAR-47 [r]: A threat detector for aircraft; all versions detect the heat of oncoming missiles; modified versions also detect laser designator beams [e] AAR-54 [r]: Using multiple ultraviolet sensors, this is an missile exhaust detector and alarm [e] AAR-57 [r]: Mounted on aircraft, the system detects the ultraviolet energy emissions of missile threats [e] ALE-37 [r]: An electronic warfare expendables dispenser, optimized for dispensing of large volumes of chaff over an area being attacked or overflown, in support of an overall mission rather than the more usual protection of a single aircraft [e] ALE-39 [r]: An obsolete dispenser of electronic warfare expendables (e.g., flares and chaff), to be replaced by the AN/ALE-47 [e] ALE-47 [r]: An intelligent countermeasures dispenser for military aircraft, which can receive commands directly from warning receivers, and dispense expendable radar and infrared decoys, as well as manage a retrievable decoy towed via an fiber optic cable [e] ALE-55 [r]: An active electronic attack remote device targeted at radar, spooled out by an AN/ALE-47 dispenser, which can run through the flame of an afterburner and, at the end of its tether, act as a deceptive decoy trackbreaker or a seductive sacrificial decoy [e] ALQ-131 [r]: A pod-mounted intelligent radar jammer of 1990 vintage, with capabilities against both continuous wave and pulse radar in different frequency bands [e] ALQ-136 [r]: An obsolescent integrated radar detection and jamming system used on U.S. helicopters. [e] ALQ-162 [r]: A continuous wave radar jammer, used primarily on helicopters against semi-active radar homing missiles [e] ALQ-165 [r]: An obsolete electronic warfare jammer on F-111 and F-18 Super Hornet aircraft, replaced on the Super Hornets with the AN/ALQ-214 [e] ALQ-178 [r]: A U.S. made modular electronic warfare system intended for foreign military sales to F-16 Fighting Falcon operators; not all features will be made available to all countries due to technology transfer controls [e] ALQ-214 [r]: An advanced electronic warfare system featuring distributed computer processing both on a tactical aircraft and in towed pods [e] ALR-41 [r]: A radar warning receiver based on the AN/ALR-36 and used in the F-111. It was replaced by the AN/ALR-62. [e] ALR-56 [r]: A radar warning receiver, part of the electronic warfare suite for most F-15 series fighter aircraft [e] ALR-93 [r]: Part of the defensive electronics suite for United States Special Operations Command helicopters and fixed-wing transport aircraft, this detects a wide range of radar, and cues a decoy launcher and other countermeasures [e] APG-63 [r]: A radar system for F-15 Eagle and, in its fourth version, F-15E Strike Eagle fighters [e] APG-73 [r]: A mechanically-scanned radar midlife upgrade for the capable F-18 Hornet, which has been superseded by two phased-array radar generations on the F-18 Super Hornet. [e] APG-78 [r]: A U.S. Army millimeter wave radar system shared among the Longbow versions of the AH-64 Apache heavy attack helicopter, AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, and the OH-58 Kiowa Warrior scout helicopter [e] APG-79 [r]: active electronically scanned array radar for the F-18 Super Hornet and EF-18 Growler [e] APG-80 [r]: An alternative upgrade path for F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft radar, using active electronically scanned array technology rather than the incremental upgrade of the AN/APG-68 [e] APG-81 [r]: active electronically scanned array radar for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter series [e] APQ-164 [r]: Multifunction radar for the U.S. B-1 Lancer "Bone" bomber [e] APQ-180 [r]: A derivative of the AN/APG-70 ground mapping radar introduced for the F-15E Strike Eagle, built into the slower AC-130 attack aircraft [e] APR-39 [r]: A radar warning receiver and electronics countermeasures suite controller that provides coverage for C/D and E through J band CW radar, used on helicopters and slow fixed-wing aircraft [e] APS-145 [r]: Radar system for E-2 Hawkeye 2000 upgrade [e] APY-2 [r]: Air/sea surveillance radar of the E-3 Sentry [e] ARC-187 [r]: A multiservice HAVE QUICK II transceiver with JTIDS capability [e] ARC-201 [r]: An aircraft radio transceiver compatible with the SINCGARS waveform, typically for communications with ground units [e] ASQ-228 [r]: The first electro-optical pod, for air-to-air and air-to-ground targeting as well as navigation, which operates in the medium-wave infrared spectrum [e] AVR-2 [r]: Add brief definition or description GRC-245 [r]: Add brief definition or description MPQ-53 [r]: Add brief definition or description MPQ-64 [r]: Add brief definition or description PRC-119 [r]: Add brief definition or description PRC-148 [r]: Add brief definition or description PRD-13 [r]: Add brief definition or description PSC-5 [r]: Add brief definition or description SPG-62 [r]: Add brief definition or description SPS-49 [r]: Add brief definition or description SPY-1 [r]: Add brief definition or description TPQ-36 [r]: Add brief definition or description TPQ-37 [r]: Add brief definition or description TPQ-46 [r]: Add brief definition or description TPY-2 [r]: Add brief definition or description TRC-170 [r]: Add brief definition or description TRC-190 [r]: Add brief definition or description TSC-154 [r]: Add brief definition or description TSQ-190 [r]: Add brief definition or description TTC-39 [r]: Add brief definition or description TTC-56 [r]: Add brief definition or description ULQ-30 [r]: Add brief definition or description
