Electronic-warfare aircraft

Aircraft

An electronic-warfare aircraft is a military aircraft equipped for electronic warfare. It degrades the effectiveness of enemy radar and radio systems through radar jamming and deception. In 1943, British Avro Lancaster aircraft were fitted with chaff to blind enemy air-defence radars. Specially equipped aircraft of No. 100 Group RAF also operated modified Halifaxes, Liberators and Fortresses carrying several types of jammer.
