U.S. ECM Aircraft In Action
(Soft Cover)
Product Code: SS10233

Overview

By Ken Neubeck.
The purpose of Electronic countermeasures (ECM) is to jam, spoof,
trick or otherwise fool an enemy about the location or
capabilities of armed combat units. While the United States
employs ECM on the land, air and sea, modern military aircraft
are the primary platform in the ECM battle because they can scan
a larger patch of earth.

This book briefly explains the history and development of various
ECM techniques with particular emphasis on U.S. Navy, Air Force
and Marine aircraft that have taken electronic countermeasures
into battle from the 1950s through present.

Specific aircraft included in the book are ECM variants from the
1950s, Vietnam, the Cold War, Operation Desert Storm, Operation
Deliberate Force (Yugoslavia), and modern aircraft including the
Navy’s EA-18 Growler, which is capable of jamming frequencies and
eliminating surface-to-air radar sites at Mach 1.8.
