Grom-1 Active Jammer

A powerful shipboard multispectral jamming system that can operate in either a general emission mode or in a selective narrow focus mode. The Grom-3 is primarily targeted against hostile ship, strikecraft, and guided munitions as a means to confuse or simply burn out sensors employs to detect and track targets using the various waveforms of the electromagnetic spectrum. Its effectiveness can vary due to ambient conditions as well as the quality of enemy electronic counter-countermeasures.

Braza-2M Active Decoy Launcher

A factory sealed six shot launcher system that employs the starship scale mobile decoy drone system, it is used as a way to either enlarge the ships sensor signature by having them fly in close formation or as a means to distract or decoy away incoming strikecraft or ordinance. The latter of which can be done with either a straight line run, a pattern, or in a random adapative fashion depending on the enemy response to it. The Fromm has a total of six of these box launchers strategically mounted on the hull surface to provide full coverage from all the main ship approaches.

Veber-21 Flare and Chaff Launcher

Consisting of individual eighty cell 100mm diameter munition tubes, each box launcher is loaded with half and half of each type of munition (chaff and maneuvering flares). Each flare can burn for up to two minutes and each chaff munition is capable of expanding out to a radius of two kilometers in zero-gravity conditions.
