Notes
- ^ As reported by Asia Military Review in January 2025,[757] the frequency range of the latest ALQ-231 Block-X version may reach up to 40 GHz
- ^ The B-52J Radar Modernization Program (RMP) upgrade is still in development, expected in service by 2033,[758][759] so the APQ-188 is planned for the B-52J
- ^ The AN/APS-130 was originally manufactured by Norden Systems beginning in 1976 which was sold to Westinghouse Electric Corp then finally to Northrop Grumman
- ^ Only ten units of the AN/AQS-20 were purchased before the system was canceled by the US Navy in 2016
- ^ In a single reliable reference source used for this entry,[760] instead of listing the Archerfish AMNS system as AN/ASQ-235, it shows numerous times within the document as AN/AQS-235. But on page 36, section 3, the title refers to the AN/AQS-235 and the next sentence calls it AN/ASQ-235. Considering how many other references (including the Navy factsheet) call it AN/ASQ-235, that is what was used in this Wikipedia list.
- ^ AN/BQH-7A was a surface ship version of the same bathythermograph
- ^ Before AN/CRC designated Cryptographic Radios, the first "C" meant "Air Transportable" (ie. Cargo)
