Timbo88 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Mod703 looks intriguing. Anyone know what that ECM training pod would have been? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a pod used in the 80's with limited success. It was called the PEWT (Phantom Electronic Warfare Training) pod. It was a low powered ECM pod used for training in an EW environment, the aircrew didn't think much of its value, so was rarely used. Even more rarely photographed. It was a cylinder about 1ft in diameter and 3ft (ish) in length. Loaded on the left inboard pylon using a multiple weapons adapter (MWA) and a carrier bomb triple ejector (CBTE). A Google search has a couple of references to them, but the photo's are no longer available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I have seen a photo of such a pod quite recently on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troffa Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 The F-4M (FGR2) Phantom has the HF Radio antenna built into the tail fin, its the dark trapezoid behind the leading edge. That's a great shot of it in John's post above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I can't say for sure, but the amendment date for drawing in the illustrated parts catalogue is 1989, but that feels a bit late to me?
