DISCONTINUED Eduard 648362 AN/ALQ-184 (short) ECM pod

AN / ALQ-184 Pod is an electronic countermeasure (ECM) and electronic warfare (EW), developed and manufactured by the American concern Raytheon. The system was developed in the mid-1980s, and between 1989 and 1996, Raytheon delivered over 850 such containers to the US Air Force. The main task of AN / ALQ-184 is to detect the sources of radar waves falling on its own aircraft, as well as to disrupt enemy radars (both airborne and ground). It is estimated that the system is able to detect radar waves with nearly 100% efficiency, and its jamming capabilities are most often described as very high. The AN / ALQ-184 container is dedicated primarily to tactical aircraft, and in the USAAF it is used, for example, on the F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft.
