| − | An '''Electronic Counter Measure Pod''' (ECMP) is a device used to jam radar and prevent it from locking onto targets. Aircraft such as the [[EA-6B Prowler]] are used for this role. However, fictional Ace Combat aircraft such as the [[ADFX-01/02 Morgan]] and the [[CFA-44 Nosferatu]] are able to carry this device internally. The jammer emits electromagnetic pulses that can scramble radar. Most usually jammer aircraft are highly specialized, like [[EA-6B Prowler]], [[EA-18G Growler]], [[EA-200]] and the [[E-767]] AWACS planes in the AC series, or the [[Tornado GR.4]] in [[Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation|''Ace Combat 6'']]. The CFA-44 and ADFX-01 are single-seat aircraft and seem to have greatly reduced the difficulty of operating a jammer. |

| − | In-game in [[Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies|''Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies'']] the aerial transport attack mission (against three [[C-17A Globemaster III]]s) is complicated by a pair of E-767 jammer aircraft that produce a solid green circle overlapping all planes underneath their radar cover, but do not impede visual sight or missile targeting. In ''[[Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War]],'' a similar mission has the 4 E-767 AWACS jammers create visual "fakes" with intent to cause missiles to be wasted against them. In [[Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation|''Ace Combat 6: Fires Of Liberation '']], enemy ESM-generating (and thus missile accuracy-degrading) objects presumably have some form of ECMP installed, and there is at least one mission where enemy [[Tornado GR.4]] planes are acting as mobile jammers by continuously using ECMPs. |

An EA-18G using ECM pods to neutralize enemy missiles in Ace Combat Zero
An Electronic Countermeasure (ECM) is a device that prevents enemy units from being able to lock on to a target. ECMs are widely used in the Ace Combat franchise by both enemies and allies. The player can even use ECMs by equipping a special pod to their aircraft in lieu of a special weapon. In the older games, this pod was referred to as a Electronic Counter Measure Pod (ECMP).
When the player engages ECM, all enemy missiles that were tracking the player will abruptly lose their lock, causing the missiles to fly straight at the last-locked vector. While the player is immune to enemy radar lock, enemy missiles can still cause damage; for example, if the player and an enemy missile are both at level flight, the missile can still hit and damage the player's aircraft. The ECM effect only lasts a few seconds, after which the player must re-engage it after the battery fully recharges.
