AN/ALQ-131 Deep vs Shallow ?


Recommended Posts

Is there a physical difference between the two types of AN/ALQ-131 ECM Pods?

 

I am assembling parts and add-ons for my next F-16 and this (hopefully) is the last item I need to get.

Yes, there is.  The deep pod has a gondola (for lack of a better term) underneath the main pod body, and a small antenna bump attached to the underside of the gondola.  The shallow pod deletes the gondola and attaches the antenna bump directly to the underside of the main body.

 

This is a deep pod.

Thank you very much, now to see which version I have.
