Which countermeasure set is included in the minehunting package?

• A. AN/ALQ-131 countermeasure set
• B. AN/DPX-12 countermeasure set
• C. AN/ALE-50 countermeasure set
• D. AN/ALQ-141 countermeasure set

Answer: (D)

The test focuses on what defensive system accompanies the minehunting package. During AMCM operations, aircraft must be protected from threats while they search for and deal with mines, so the package includes a self-protection electronic warfare countermeasure set. The AN/ALQ-141 is that countermeasure set—an active ECM system designed to jam or degrade hostile radar sensors and tracking, increasing the aircraft’s survivability while performing minehunting duties. Other systems listed serve different roles or platforms: the AN/ALQ-131 is a separate ECM pod, the AN/ALE-50 is a towed decoy, and the DPX-12 is not the countermeasure set tied to this package. Therefore, the AN/ALQ-141 is the one included in the minehunting package.
