Missile and torpedo defence. When deployed, causes affected ordnance to lose lock.
— In-Game Description
The Electronic Countermeasure (ECM) is a utility module used to defend against hostile munitions with tracking capabilities including seeker missiles, torpedoes, and Hatch Breaker limpets.
Usage
To use an Electronic Countermeasure, it must first be assigned to a fire group. When the ship is targeted by hostile seeker missiles, torpedoes, or Hatch Breaker limpets, the ECM can be fired to break their targeting locks. Holding the trigger will extend the range of the ECM's effect up to a maximum of 3 kilometers, and there is no limit to how many hostile munitions can be thrown off in a single use. After it is used, the ECM enters a cooldown phase that lasts 10 seconds before it can be used again.
