- ALE-50 [r]: An expendable, actively transmitting radar decoy pod that is towed behind the aircraft it protects [e]
- ALE-55 [r]: An active electronic attack remote device targeted at radar, spooled out by an AN/ALE-47 dispenser, which can run through the flame of an afterburner and, at the end of its tether, act as a deceptive decoy trackbreaker or a seductive sacrificial decoy [e]
- ALQ-165 [r]: An obsolete electronic warfare jammer on F-111 and F-18 Super Hornet aircraft, replaced on the Super Hornets with the AN/ALQ-214 [e]
