=== Countering ECM: Electronic Counter-Counter Measures (ECCM) ===

ECM is directly countered by Sensor Boosters, Remote Sensor Boosters, and Signal Amplifiers. All of these modules provide a bonus to all four types (Gravimetric, Magnetometric, Radar and Ladar) of sensor strength, along with bonuses to targeting range and scan resolution (locking time). Sensor boosters and remote sensor boosters are active, mid-slot modules, and can be fitted with an ECCM Script that doubles the sensor strength effect at the expense of the targeting range and scan resolution effects. As their names suggest, a sensor booster affects the fitted ship, while remote sensor boosters are used to assist other ships. Signal amplifiers are passive, low-slot modules that affect the fitted ship. Signal amplifiers cannot be scripted. Ships that are frequently the target of enemy jamming, such as logistics and other EWAR ships, will often fit a sensor booster or signal amplifier to counter enemy ECM.

There are also skills that boost the base sensor strength for each of the four ship sensor types: {{sk| Gravimetric Sensor Compensation}}, {{sk| Ladar Sensor Compensation}}, {{sk| Magnetometric Sensor Compensation}}, {{sk| Radar Sensor Compensation}}. You can train the one of these that applies to your ship to reduce the effectiveness of incoming ECM.
