Staff Sgt. Jermaine Edmunds, an electronic warfare technician with 169th Maintenance Squadron’s Electronic Warfare shop at McEntire Joint National Guard Base, S.C., conducts pre-setup for a 120-day Preventative Maintenance Inspection on an ALQ-184 electronic countermeasure pod, Jan. 6, 2012. PMI’s are conducted every 120 and a major inspection at 320 days, where a specific series of tests are performed on various components at pre-set frequencies, ensuring the ECM pod is receiving and correctly responding to threat signals. Electronic warfare provides safety to our pilots and F-16’s in combat and training missions by providing total structural and electronic maintenance and repairs to the ALQ-184 ECM pod. The ALQ-184 is equipped with forward and aft antennas, which manipulates radiofrequency signals received and sends back false information, making it difficult for the enemy to lock a signal on our jets.
