AN/MLQ-36 Mobile Electronic Warfare Support System The AN/MLQ-36 MEWSS provides a multifunctional capability that gives SIGINT electronic warfare (EW) operators limited armor protection (figure B-2). This equipment is ideally suited to provide SIGINT EW support for highly mobile mechanized and military operations in urban terrain where maneuver and/or armor protection is critical. MEWSS comprises a signals intercept system, a radio direction finding (DF) system, an EA system, a secure communications system, and an intercom system installed in a logistics variant of the light armored vehicle (LAV)-25. Electronic warfare support (ES) activities are accomplished through the use of two WJ-8618B(S1) acquisition receivers and the WJ-32850 MANTIS DF system. EA activities are conducted with the AN/ULQl9(V) electronic attack set.
