Like the title says, I need help identifying a strange sensor pod mounted on an F-16 wing pylon. It appears to be some sort of RADAR pod, with the letters MOE or maybe MOF on it.

It must be some type of cryptographic message. Who's got the cypher?!

If it's wing mounted, it's almost certainly either an ELL-8222, or ACMI pod.

Without a pic it's hard to say. But thanks for the info, it will help me learn some

It looks like some sort of HARM Targeting System.

Are you talking about the one on the right wing, with two prongs coming off to either side?

It's an AN/ALQ-188 electronic warfare simulator. They use them for EW training.

That’s exactly what I am talking about. You’re amazingly helpful, as always.

This F-16 has the HARM targeting pod. It mounts under the intake, and is the AN/ASQ-213. That one is the HTS R7, since it's on the left side. The HTS R6 mounts on the right side of the intake. The R7 also can be used with other PGMs, and can take information from other platforms.

HTS R7.
