The '''Angel ECM Suite''' is an advanced version of the [[Guardian ECM Suite]] operating on a broader spectrum and greatly advances ECM technology on the battlefield.  Development of the Angel began in the [[Draconis Combine]] shortly after the [[Battle of Luthien (3052)|Battle of Luthien]], but despite assistance from [[ComStar]], cost overruns and internal problems within both powers kept it in its experimental stages for a long time and delayed its widespread deployment.  [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]], having learned of the Angel's development, started copying the technology to create their own version.<ref name="TOp279">''Tactical Operations'', p. 279, "Angel ECM Suite"</ref>

The Angel ECM Suite represents a great advance in ECM technology from the standard Guardian model.  Within its 6 hex radius of effect, the Angel suite completely blocks the following systems on enemy units: [[Artemis IV]], [[Artemis V]], [[Beagle Active Probe]]s, [[Bloodhound Active Probe]]s and their [[Clan]] equivalents, [[C3 master computer]]s and [[C3 slave]]s (normal, emergency, and boosted varieties, but not the [[Nova Combined Electronic Warfare System|Nova CEWS]]), [[Streak Missile Launcher]]s and [[Narc]] missile beacons. Streak missiles may be fired at units affected by the device, but they function as standard missiles.<ref name="THp63+">''Tactical Handbook'', pp. 63-64, "Angel ECM Suite"</ref>

When using [[ECCM]] rules, the Angel ECM Suite counts as '''two''' ECM/ECCM units (depending on how it is set) for the purposes of determining the ratio of ECM to ECCM in a given area.<ref>''Maximum Tech'', pp. 77-78, "ECM Suite"</ref>
