List of military electronics of the United States: A–G

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected fromAN/ALR-69)

This is anincomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help byexpanding it withreliably sourced entries. Please observe the definition of the list when adding or editing entries.

This subpage listsAmerican militaryelectronicinstruments/systems along with brief descriptions. Thisstand-alone list specifically identifies electronic devices which are assigned designations (names) according to theJoint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS) beginning with theAN/ prefix. They are grouped below by the first designation letter following this prefix. The list is organized as sorted tables that reflect thepurpose,uses and manufacturers of each listed item.

Due to page size considerations, the full list was split into sub-pages. The list on this page only shows designations where the first letter after AN/ is betweenA andG. For all designations betweenM andZ, please seeList of military electronics of the United States: M–Z.

For a general summary of the JETDS nomenclature system, seeList of military electronics of the United States. For a full description of the JETDS system, seeJoint Electronics Type Designation System.

NOTE: LettersE, H, I, J, L, N, O, Q, R, X andY are not used in the first-position ofJETDS nomenclatures.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^As reported byAsia Military Review in January 2025,[251] the frequency range of the latest ALQ-231 Block-X version may reach up to 40 GHz (7.5 mm)
  2. ^The B-52J Radar Modernization Program (RMP) upgrade is still in development, expected in service by 2033,[441][442] so the APQ-188 isplanned for the B-52J
  3. ^The AN/APS-130 was originally manufactured byNorden Systems beginning in 1976 which was sold toWestinghouse Electric Corp then finally toNorthrop Grumman
  4. ^Only ten units of theAN/AQS-20 were purchased before the system was canceled by theUS Navy in 2016
  5. ^In a single reliable reference source used for this entry,[617] instead of listing the Archerfish AMNS system asAN/ASQ-235, it shows numerous times within the document asAN/AQS-235. But on page 36, section 3, the title refers to the AN/AQS-235 and the next sentence calls it AN/ASQ-235. Considering how many other references (including the Navy factsheet) call it AN/ASQ-235, that is what was used in this Wikipedia list.
  6. ^AN/BQH-7A was a surface ship version of the same bathythermograph
  7. ^Before AN/CRC designated Cryptographic Radios, the first "C" meant "Air Transportable" (ie. Cargo)
