AN/ALQ-178
The AN/ALQ-178 is a family of an advanced, internally mounted self-protection system specifically designed for high performance fighter aircraft, including the F-16, F-4E and F/A-18. Fully operational since 1986, the AN/ALQ-178 is currently in operation for two major Air Forces. The AN/ALQ-178 is a proven integrated Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) and Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) Suite providing the pilot with situational awareness and deceptive RF jamming. The AN/ALQ-178 Dispense Interface Microprocessor (DIM) provides intelligent control of chaff/flare dispenser systems for enhanced and coordinated ECM response. The AN/ALQ-178 is flight-line programmable for mission adaptability. Program updates to the threat data library are achievable with the menu driven Preflight Message Generator (PFMG). Record Mode provides data collection for post-flight analysis supporting threat parametric value changes. The system design embodies extensive Built-In-Test (BIT) capabilities which provide fault isolation to the Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) level. In-flight BIT verifies proper operation.
AN/ALQ-178 (V)3
The AN/ALQ-178(V)3 was designed, tested and fully qualified in accordance with the full range of U.S. military specifications including: MIL-E-5400 Class 2 for equipment design, MIL-STD-785 for reliability, DoD-STD-l679/MIL-STD-498 guidelines for software, MIL-STD-470 for maintainability and MIL-STD-810C for qualification. AN/ALQ-I78(V)3 System on TUAF F-16 and F-4E 2020 are proven systems in operations (Bosnia, Kosovo, ...) and exercises (RED FLAG, RAMON, etc.).
A comprehensive, Integrated Logistic Support system has been fully established for the AN/ALQ-178(V) 3 System. The adaptive design of the AN/ALQ-178(V)3 enables it to be easily tailored for specific system requirements on both tactical and strategic aircraft.
