British Airborne Electronic Warfare Systems - Technical data and discussion

Very nice, and totally noncredible.

So with ESM radar modes being added on the dev server it makes me wonder if electronic warfare might also come in the not too distant future.

With that in mind here’s the list of British aircraft currently in game, which I can see potentially getting ECM systems (commonwealth aircraft & helicopters excluded):

Aircraft ECM system
Buccaneer S.2B ALQ-101
Harrier GR.3 Blue Eric
Harrier GR.7 Zues
Harrier T.10 Zues
Jaguar GR.1 ALQ-101
Jaguar GR.1A ALQ-101
Phantom FGR.2 PEWT Pod
Tornado F.3 TRD
Tornado F.3 Late TRD
Tornado GR.1 Sky Shadow
Tornado GR.4 Sky Shadow
Typhoon FGR.4 Praetorian DASS / TRD
Typhoon FGR.4 AESA Praetorian DASS / TRD

Let me know if I missed anything

ECRS Mk.2

AURA

Does Britecloud count as a ECM, or are you just counting that as part of TRD?

Yeah Britecloud is similar in principle as TRD’s.

So yeah;

Britecloud for all three. @Flame2512

Didnt know GR4 also had Britecloud


First in service with it.

Sweet. Is that in the TERMA or BOZ or either?

Either, comes in 2x1" and 55mm.

Ah nice. Shame the GR9 was retired before they entered service, would have been a useful piece of equipment for it

Let me know if you want anything adding to the OP.

ESM modes accessible on anything yet or just the text been datamined?

So updated list of British (no commonwealth yet) aircraft with ECM systems:

Aircraft ECM system
Buccaneer S.2B ALQ-101
Harrier GR.3 Blue Eric
Harrier GR.7 Zeus
Harrier T.10 Zeus
Jaguar GR.1 ALQ-101
Jaguar GR.1A ALQ-101
Phantom FGR.2 PEWT Pod
Tornado F.3 TRD / AURA
Tornado F.3 Late TRD / AURA
Tornado GR.1 Sky Shadow
Tornado GR.4 Sky Shadow / Britecloud
Typhoon FGR.4 Praetorian DASS / TRD / Britecloud
Typhoon FGR.4 AESA Praetorian DASS / TRD / ECRS Mk.2 / Britecloud

Anything else I’m missing?

Zues or Zues?

Zeus

Assuming that Typhoon will use it (or at least test fire it and therefore be enough for WT) would Spear-EW count too?

God damn that is cool

Leonardo has been producing some absolute cinema hype reels lately. The AW149 one was great too.
