Product Description ■ This time, we are going to release the EC-1 as the fifth of the Kawasaki C-1 series.
The model EC-1 is a modified version of the C-1 and has been in operation since 1986.
The EC-1 is used mainly to interfere with surface-to-air missile units and radar sites by interfering with radio waves. It is used to conduct training in a combat environment.
For this reason, the J/ALQ-5 is equipped with an electronic jamming device. The antenna accommodating section is expanded to the nose, side and rear. This allows the entire circumference of the aircraft to transmit radio waves.
Also, two AN/ALE-41 chaff pods can be mounted on the underside of the nose.
I heard that there are two consoles and a lot of electronic devices on the aircraft.
Only one has been modified from the C-1 and deployed to the Electronic Warfare Support Unit of the General Headquarters in Iruma Air Base, Saitama Prefecture.
The reality is shrouded in mystery because it is a highly sensitive field of electronic warfare.
