{{otheruses|a specific item|ECM in general|ECM}} == Description == '''Electronic Warfare Equipment''' ('''EW Equipment''') was a suite of basic electronic devices developed in [[3025]] by the [[Capellan Confederation]] and included on the first model of their ''[[Raven]]'' [[BattleMech]] along with the rare -0X variant of the ''[[Cataphract]]''. The device mimicked the combined capabilities of the then-[[lostech]] [[Beagle Active Probe]] and [[Guardian ECM Suite]], but without the range of those [[Star League era]] devices. It was a landmark development for the Confederation in its time, but became obsolete with the redevelopment of the [[Star League]] systems it copied.<ref name="TOp310-311">''Tactical Operations'', pp. 310-311, "Electronic Warfare Equipment"</ref> The [[Clan]]s, having never lost the original equipment, had no need to develop this inferior substitute. == Notes == The ''Raven'' 'Mech and its unspecified electronics suite were introduced as early as 1987 in the ''[[House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)]]'' sourcebook, but no rules were originally provided for the system except that it weighted 7.5 tons.

It functions as an active probe and an ECM suite within a radius of three hexes.<ref name="TOp310-311"/> The combined mass and bulk of the system make it strictly inferior to mounting both a Beagle and Guardian system instead, but the latter systems are of a higher technology level. </div> == References == <references/> == Bibliography == * ''[[Tactical Operations]]'' * ''[[House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)]]'' (by inference) * ''[[Technical Readout: 3025]]'' (by inference) [[Category:Technology]] [[Category:Equipment]] [[Category:Defensive System]]
