dan Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Hi guys. From about 1975 onwards the F-8J used on the Crusaders last few cruises had aditional RWR/ ECM antenna located on the sides of the chin intake and on the rear of the ALQ-100 housing on the top of the tail fin. Does anyone have any more sepicific details? Such as were they simply updated antenna or was the ECM and Radar Warning suite enhansed/ upgraded in capability. My understanding is from the ALQ-100 onwards in the F-8J/H the vector to a threat picked up by the RWR gear could be displayed on the radar scope as there was no dedicated RWR display in the cockpit.
