What do jamming pods do?
It is used effectively to protect aircraft from guided missiles. Most air forces use ECM to protect their aircraft from attack. It has also been deployed by military ships and recently on some advanced tanks to fool laser/IR guided missiles. Offensive ECM often takes the form of jamming.
How does ALQ 99 work?
AN/ALQ-99 TJS are used both offensively and defensively to deny targeting information to any enemy. The AN/ALQ-99 TJS intercepts and automatically processes radar signals and power manages the system’s transmitters to effectively jam large numbers of diverse radar threats with very high effective radiated power (ERP).
