AN/ALQ-214 IDECM
The ALQ-214 IDECM RFCM (integrated defensive electronic countermeasures RF countermeasures system) allows aircrews to respond with confidence against the world’s most advanced threats. IDECM RFCM breaks the paradigm by removing the distinction between traditional onboard coherent jammers and end-game-only towed repeaters. IDECM RFCM integrates the best characteristics of both into one affordable advanced system, applicable to multiple aircraft, for maximum commonality.
IDECM RFCM goes further to fill survivability gaps created by home-on-jam and man-in-loop command guided threats to provide robust self protection capability. In doing so, three layers of defense are provided. These include: 1) suppression to deny, delay and degrade adversary acquisition and tracking; 2) deception to mislead guided weapons away from aircraft if a track solution is obtained and a launch occurs; and 3) end-game capabilities that make the fiber-optic-towed decoy (FOTD) the preferred target, seducing adversary missiles that manage to leak through the first and second layers of defense.
