The four types of [[POS Structures#ECM Batteries|ECM batteries]] are Ion Field Projection Battery (MAGNET, Gallente), Phase Inversion Battery (LADAR, Minmatar), Spatial Destabilization Battery (GRAV, Caldari) and White Noise Generation Battery (RADAR, Amarr). They have an optimal range of 200km, a falloff range of 100km, with a jam strength of 45.00 for their primary type and 15.00 for their secondary types. In comparision, ships like the Blackbird, Kitsune, Falcon, and Scorpion have jam strengths in the 6.00 to 12.00 range. These modules must be mounted '''outside''' the POS bubble.

Faction ECM is recommended for large towers in hostile environments to ensure jamming on enemy ships, even on secondary types. At a minimum, a medium tower should have (2) of each type online and a large tower will probably want (4) of each type online. If a medium or large tower will be actively defended by players (POS gunners) taking control of the defenses, then you may wish to anchor spares of each type. Some POS setups mount as many as 72 ECM batteries anchored with some of them online at all times. ~~For more details, see the [[Example POS Setups]] page.~~ Small towers can be fitted with (1) of each type online, but in most cases you should take a small POS down if you are under threat of a [[wardec]] or attack.

Note: Dreads are immune to ECM in siege mode and carriers are immune if in triage mode. Therefore you should not rely on ECM in low-security / null-security space where capital ships can be brought to the fight.
