DETAILS:
NOTES: The AN/ASQ-213 is used on F-16 Block 50/52 aircraft to engage SEAD targets faster and more accurately, giving them the same EW abilities as the F-4G Wild Weasel. The HTS can rapidly generate ranges to target radars, as well as to provide greater discretion between different types of enemy radars. The HTS R6 version has increased ability to detect and locate low frequency emitters and increased its capabilty against multiple targets. HTS has been exported to Israel.
