What are the ALQ-165/214?

• A. Also known as the onboard jamming system; uses multiple techniques to defeat tracking and acquisition radar
• B. A navigation system
• C. A weather monitoring system
• D. A target designation device

Answer: (A)

The ALQ-165/214 are onboard electronic warfare systems that provide radar jamming to protect the aircraft. They operate using multiple techniques to defeat enemy tracking and acquisition radars, making it hard for the radar to detect, track, or guide weapons to the aircraft. This is not a navigation system, weather monitoring system, or a target designation device, but rather part of the aircraft’s self-protection EW suite, aimed at suppressing or confusing hostile radars.
