M299 guided missile launcher
LITENING
Advanced Airborne Targeting and Navigation Pod
Infrared targeting
GPS Targeting


Threat Detection:
AN/QRC-84 (counters infrared guided missiles launched at rear hemisphere of aircraft, and provides pulsed threat warnings)
AN/AVR-2 Laser Warning System (passive laser warning system which receives, processes and displays threat information resulting from aircraft illumination by lasers)
AN/APR-46 (wideband microwave receiving systems designed to receive, process, and display pulsed and amplitude modulated signals.)
AN/APR-39 Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) (Monitors the environment for pulsed radar signals, characterize and identify them, and alert the crew to the existence of emitters.)

Jamming:
AN/USQ-113 Communications Jammer
Integrated Defensive Electronic Countermeasures (IDECM) (Uses a combination of onboard transmitters and the fiber optic towed decoy to deceive enemy radars and missile systems. For aircraft self-protection against radio frequency (RF) missile threats)
AN/ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System (TJS) (fully integrated computer controlled support jamming system, it intercepts and automatically processes radar signals and power manages the system's transmitters to effectively jam large numbers of diverse radar threats with very high effective radiated power (ERP).)

Countermeasures:
Miniature Air-Launched Decoy (MALD)
ADM-141A Tactical Air-Launched Decoy (TALD) (expendable decoys used in offensive operations against enemy air defense systems by diluting and confusing surface-based and airborne defenses with realistic tactical target characteristics)
