Add authentic electronic countermeasure capability to your 1/48 scale jet aircraft models with this detailed 3D printed AN/ALQ-119 ECM jammer pod from MPM Hobbies. As a critical defensive system designed to protect aircraft from radar-guided threats, the ALQ-119 represents essential survivability equipment—and now you can recreate that capability with museum-quality detail on your F-16 Fighting Falcon, A-10 Thunderbolt II, F-4 Phantom II, and other tactical aircraft.
The Westinghouse AN/ALQ-119 jammer pod holds a distinguished place in modern military aviation as an electronic countermeasure system designed to protect aircraft from radar-guided surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft artillery. The ALQ-119 is currently carried on the F-16 and A-10, and was previously carried on the F-4 prior to that aircraft's retirement. During the Vietnam War the ALQ-119 was carried on the F-4, typically mounted on the inboard station, though subsequently it was frequently mounted on the Left Forward AIM-7 missile station. This noise/deception jammer covered three frequency bands, providing comprehensive protection against the radar threats of its era.
The AN/ALQ-119 is a self-protection jammer that employs both noise jamming and deception techniques to defeat enemy radar systems. When enemy radar illuminates the aircraft, the ALQ-119 detects the signal and transmits powerful jamming signals designed to confuse or overwhelm the enemy radar, preventing it from accurately tracking the aircraft or guiding weapons to intercept. The pod's multi-band coverage ensures protection against a wide range of radar frequencies used by different threat systems. The ALQ-119's effectiveness significantly improves aircraft survivability in hostile air defense environments, allowing pilots to complete their missions and return safely.
Current AN/ALQ-119 maintenance activities include programming of new threats and techniques to the system, system performance laboratory testing, threat and weapon systems analysis and technique development, and field support for various range testing of the system. This ongoing development ensures the ALQ-119 remains effective against evolving radar threats, extending the operational life of this proven electronic warfare system.
The AN/ALQ-119 is carried by US tactical aircraft. This ECM pod is ideal for detailing the following 1/48 scale aircraft:
Item(s) is/are LCD-based SLA printed using UV cured resin and will be shipped unpainted and with 3D print supports attached. Item can be primed with acrylic, lacquer or enamel type paint. Lightly sand and/or prime any horizontal striations due to the printing process. Remove supports starting from the tip down and start by freeing those supports connected to small and fragile details. Recommend using CA for attaching item to model or filling any imperfections. Item(s) will have features that are brittle or extremely delicate and prone to breaking if not properly handled. 3D print support configurations may be different than the ones in the photos if applicable. Photos may include the CAD rendered file used for printing to highlight details that do not stand out well in regular photos. Not intended for small children due to choking hazard and should only be purchased by experienced modelers due fine details and printer support removal. The number of items in your order is calculated by multiplying the quantity you selected by the number of items per set if applicable. All items are printed in the order they are purchased.
For best results, clean any support material carefully with a sharp hobby knife and test-fit the pod to your aircraft's pylon before final assembly. Prime the resin with a quality primer designed for resin parts, then paint according to your chosen scheme. Most AN/ALQ-119 pods are finished in overall light gray or white with black or dark gray stenciling and markings. Reference photos will help ensure accurate finish and markings for your specific aircraft and time period.
