South Korea Develops Electronic Missile Jamming

January 12, 2005 :: The Chosun Ilbo (S. Korea) :: News

The South Korean Defense Ministry reported on January 9th that it had developed an electronic jamming system which could be used against aircraft and missiles. The system described as “ALQ-X” is said to produce a large output of disturbance electronic waves, and is said to be mounted on South Korean KF-16 and F-4 fighter aircraft as well as transport planes. The system, apparently imported from the United States, will be deployable in the second half of 2005.
        The report is somewhat unclear about whether or not such a system would be effective against North Korean surface to surface ballistic missiles, or if it would only be useful at short ranges against air-to-air or ground-to-air launches. (Article)
