AN/ALQ-240(V)1

Description: The AN/ALQ-240(V)1 is an electronic support measures (ESM) system developed by Northrop Grumman for the US Navy's P-8A Poseidon multi-mission maritime patrol aircraft. The AN/ALQ-240(V)1 electronic support measures system will provide a significant increase in capability for operations in the complex maritime battlespace. The adaptive tuning, precise direction finding and geo-location capabilities of the ALQ-240(V)1 will allow P-8A aircrews to detect and identify radar and other electronic threats to the aircraft and Navy vessels. The new ESM system is expected to enter service along with the P-8A aircraft in 2013.
