Does someone know what "ECM" is ? Cheers, Fred.

I believe ECM is short for "Electronic Counter Measures" I've always been dependent on the kindness of NET-strangers.

Your belief is correct. ECM is the acronym for Electronic Counter Measures. It'll help keep ground radar from picking you up as quick. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= _______________ / / / | UUNET: / (___ _ /_ /_ _ __ /_/ | uunet!sdrc!evtracy / . _____)__(__/ /__/_/_/ /__/_/_/__(/__/ (__/ \ +------------------- Mobius Recursive Software - Making Yesterday's Tomorrows Today(tm) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I believe it allows ground radar to pick you up quicker, (that's one of its drawbacks), but it will help prevent that incomming missle from locking on you. (From my (limited) understanding of it, ECM broadcasts a wide radar beam, so that incoming radar guided missles cannot tell exactly where the plane is, causing them to miss. Broadcasting a wide dispersal radar beam will undoubtably tell the enemy that you are near.) +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |The views expressed herein, are the sole responsibility of the typist at hand| +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |USNail: UUCP: | |2323 Wells Branch Pkwy., #G107 cs.utexas.edu!romp!ibmchs!auschs\ | |Austin, TX 78728 !sabre.austin.ibm.com!robin | |Home: (512)251-6889 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^<-MUST BE INCLUDED| +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

I believe it allows ground radar to pick you up quicker, Actually, ECM (standing for Electronic Counter Measures) is simply a term standing for possibly several systems to electronically foil the enemy. Some systems include signal jammers (lots of noise so a seeking system cannot lock on), blip enhancers when several systems are trying to decoy to each other, etc). Originally, ECM was simply jamming, nowadays its possibly several systems that have evolved to deal with different types of target aquisistion and tracking systems. Try the guys on sci.military, there are some decent folks there with a tremendous amount of experience and information on hand. Hope I was of service. Craig climber@sol.UVic.ca
