ECM is | ECM (also known as ''jamming'') is a type of [[electronic warfare]] that, when successful, will break any active targeting lock the affected ship has. Further, it will also disrupt the targeting systems of the affected ship ''after'' the lock has been broken, making it impossible for the affected ship to re-target anything else for a period of 20 seconds. However, ECM ''does not'' prevent the use of weapons and systems that do not require a target lock to function, such as smartbombs or unguided missiles. | ||
