Historical Information

The AN/ALQ-87 ECM (Electronic Countermeasures) Pod system, developed in the USA, was widely used during the Vietnam War as a pod for jamming enemy radars and fire control systems. These devices were primarily used on bombers and fighter-bombers of the United States Air Force, such as the aforementioned F-4, F-111, and the AC-130 support aircraft, where they played a key role in protecting aircraft during combat missions. These components also appeared during the Cold War and were modernized over the following decades.
