List of military electronics of the United States
This list may be too long to read and navigate comfortably. (July 2025) |
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 US military are designated using the JETDS system. The beginning of the designation for equipment/systems always begins with AN/, which only signifies that the device has a JETDS-based designation (or name). When the JETDS was originally introduced as the unclassified Joint Army-Navy Nomenclature System (JAN), AN represented all Army-Navy electronic equipment. Later, the naming method was adopted by all Department of Defense branches, and others like Australia, 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). So, AN/AAx would designate a device used for piloted aircraft with invisible light (like infrared or ultraviolet light) 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 as one example, AN/ALR-20 would represent:[1]
- Installation in a piloted aircraft: A
- Type of countermeasures device: L
- Purpose of receiving: R
- Sequential design number: 20
So, the full description should be interpreted as the 20th design of an Army-Navy (or all Department of Defense) electronic device for a countermeasures signal receiver.
NOTE: Letters E, H, I, J, L, N, O, Q, R, X and Y are not used in the first-position of JETDS nomenclatures.

Notes
[edit]- ^ As reported by Asia Military Review in January 2025,[234] the frequency range of the latest ALQ-231 Block-X version may reach up to 40 GHz (7.5 mm)
- ^ 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
- ^ 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
- ^ Only ten units of the AN/AQS-20 were purchased before the system was canceled by the US Navy in 2016
- ^ In a single reliable reference source used for this entry,[537] instead of listing the Archerfish AMNS system as AN/ASQ-235, it shows numerous times within the document as AN/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.
- ^ AN/BQH-7A was a surface ship version of the same bathythermograph
- ^ Before AN/CRC designated Cryptographic Radios, the first "C" meant "Air Transportable" (ie. Cargo)
- ^ Many different sources say a smaller follow-on system, AN/MST-T1(V), is called "Mini-MUTES"
- ^ 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
- ^ Not to be confused with SEACOM (African cable system) and SEACOM (Asian cable system) communication systems, or Rafael Advanced Defense Systems's trademarked SeaCom naval communications suite
