Book excerpt: The AN/ALQ-165(V) Airborne Self-Protection Jammer (ASPJ) program was established to provide a common defensive electronic countermeasures system for tactical aircraft. The ASPJ is a radio frequency jammer that gives the enemy a false location of U.S. aircraft. The ASPJ program was initiated in 1975 as a joint Navy and Air Force program to develop jammers. By the end of FY 1989, a requirement for about 2,300 jammers had been documented. In FY 1990, the Air Force terminated its participation in the program, and the Navy subsequently reduced its requirement for jammers to about 400 systems. The estimated ASPJ program acquisition cost is $1.3 billion, and the life-cycle cost is $3 billion (then year dollars). The ASPJ was developed, and is being produced, by a joint venture consisting of the International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation and the Westinghouse Electric Corporation.
