Talk:E-8 Joint STARS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I thought the these things had 'US Army' on the side. Oh, well, pictures don't lie. [[PaulinSaudi 18:04, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)]]
Nope, it's an Air Force flown, maintained and paid for aircraft.--Jess 00:33, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
The airframe is USAF--the crew and missions are joint.
[edit] ECM?
Doesnt ECM distract missiles? How can a plane be ECM resistant? --The1exile 18:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
The ECM they're talking about is what an enemy would use against the RADAR of the aircraft. This RADAR system has ways to reduce the effects of jamming & other types of ECM. I'm not sure exactly what your asking. --Jess 00:41, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
ECM covers a wide variety of countermeasures, of which spoofing missiles is just one limited aspect. And the "how" is classified to try to protect it from being defeated.
