The jammer does not know if their jamming is effective before operator starts changing radar transmission settings. Using EW countermeasures will give away radar capabilities thus on peacetime operations most military radars are used on fixed frequencies, at minimal power levels and with blocked Tx sectors toward possible listeners (country ...
The AN/ALE-50 towed decoy system is an electronic countermeasure tool designed by Raytheon to protect multiple US military aircraft from air-to-air and surface-to-air radar-guided missiles. [1] The AN/ALE-50 towed decoy system is an anti-missile countermeasures decoy system used on U.S. Air Force , Navy , and Marine Corps aircraft, and by ...
The jammer's continuous transmissions will provide a clear direction to the enemy radar, but no range information. [1] Deception may use a transponder to mimic the radar echo with a delay to indicate incorrect range. [1] Transponders may alternatively increase return echo strength to make a small decoy appear to be a larger target. [1]
The ALE-55 is an RF countermeasure designed to protect an aircraft from radar-guided missiles.It consists of an aircraft-towed decoy and onboard electronics. It works together with the aircraft's electronic warfare system to provide radar jamming.
The AN/ALQ-218 is an airborne passive Radar warning receiver / electronic warfare support measures / electronic signals intelligence (RWR/ESM/ELINT) sensor system designed for airborne situational awareness and signal intelligence gathering. The AN/ALQ-218 detects, identifies, locates and analyzes sources of radio frequency emission.

When jamming is strong enough, the radar receiver can detect it from a relatively low gain sidelobe. The radar, however, will process signals as if they were received in the main lobe. Therefore, jamming can be seen in directions other than where the jammer is located. To combat this, an omnidirectional antenna is used for a comparison signal ...
The AN/ALQ-99 is an airborne electronic warfare system, previously found on the EA-6B and now utilised by the EA-18G Growler military aircraft. The ALQ-99E version of the system was carried on the EF-111A Raven aircraft as an escort or standoff jammer.
