List of military electronics of the United States

Last updated

This article lists American military electronic instruments/systems along with brief descriptions. This stand-alone list specifically identifies electronic devices which are assigned designations (names) according to the Joint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS), beginning with the AN/ prefix. They are grouped below by the first designation letter following this prefix. The list is organized as sorted tables that reflect the purpose, uses and manufacturers of each listed item.

JETDS nomenclature

All electronic equipment and systems intended for use by the U.S. military are designated using the JETDS system. The beginning of the designation for equipment/systems always begins with AN/ which only identifies that the device has a JETDS-based designation (or name). When the JETDS was originally introduced, AN represented Army-Navy equipment. Later, the naming method was adopted by all Department of Defense branches, and others like Canada, NATO and more.

The first letter of the designation following AN/ indicates the installation or platform where the device is used (e.g. A for piloted aircraft). That means a device with a designation beginning "AN/Axx" would typically be installed in a piloted aircraft or used to support that aircraft. The second letter indicates the type of equipment (e.g. A for invisible light sensor). So, AN/AAx would designate a device used for piloted aircraft with invisible light (like infrared) sensing capability. The third letter designates the purpose of the device (e.g. R for receiver, or T for transmitter). After the letters that signify those things, a dash character ("-") is followed by a sequential number that represents the next design for that device. Thus, one example, AN/ALR-20 would represent: [1]

So, the full description should be interpretted as the 20th design of an Army-Navy (now all Department of Defense) electronic device for a countermeasures signal receiver.

NOTE: First letters E, H, I, J, L, N, O, Q, R, W and Y are not used in JETDS nomenclatures.

Notes

  1. The B-52J Radar Modernization Program (RMP) upgrade is still in development as of Aug 2025, so the APQ-188 is planned for the B-52J
  2. The AN/APS-130 was originally manufactured by Norden Systems beginning in 1976 which was sold to Westinghouse Electric Corp then finally to Northrop Grumman
  3. Only ten units of the AN/AQS-20 were purchased before the system was canceled by the US Navy in 2016
  4. AN/BQH-7A was a surface ship version of the same bathythermograph
  5. Before AN/CRC designated Cryptographic Radios, the first "C" meant "Air Transportable" (ie. Cargo)
  6. Many different sources say a smaller follow-on system, AN/MST-T1(V), is called "Mini-MUTES"
  7. In reference to the AN/TPS-3, Wikipedia article SCR-602 (AN/TPS-3) says the frequency is 176–202 MHz (170.34–148.41 cm) instead of 590–610 MHz (50.81–49.15 cm) claimed by the MobileRadar.org site cited in this list
