The '''Guardian Electronic CounterMeasure Suite''', or '''GECM''', is an advanced electronic warfare suite that can be used to reduce the range at which enemy units can detect you on [[Radar]], and can be mounted on both [[Mechs]] and [[Vehicles]]. In [[MWLL]], this effect is represented by a unit's radar signature being reduced by 500 meters.  This does not stack on top of a unit's reduced signature when in [[Passive Radar]] mode.

The '''Guardian Electronic Countermeasures (GECM)''' is notable for its discriminatory nature, able to scramble hostile electronics to reduce the [[Radar]] 'footprint' of whatever its mounted to; while leaving friendly communications and targeting enhancers unaffected. If utilized by a pilot clever to respect their new, smaller radar footprint; it can enable them to push further into contested territory, relay detailed radar information to their team while being undetectable to the enemy.
  
Regardless of GECM, the moment an asset overheats, they are equally visible to having no radar protection and running in [[Radar#Active_Radar|Active Radar]].
+
[[GECM]] is found mounted on a variety of [[Mechs]], [[Aerospace]] and [[Vehicles]], typically to flesh out the units role as a scout, except in the case of the [[Thanatos]] mech'- which has GECM hardmounted on all variants.

* Air GECM, on [[VTOLs]] and [[Aerospace]] reduces [[Radar#Lock On|lock on]] time, but does not reduce detection range. This means there is no reason to for VTOLs and Aerospace with GECM to use [[Passive Radar]].

Overview & Gameplay

The Guardian Electronic Countermeasures (GECM) is notable for its discriminatory nature, able to scramble hostile electronics to reduce the Radar 'footprint' of whatever its mounted to; while leaving friendly communications and targeting enhancers unaffected. If utilized by a pilot clever to respect their new, smaller radar footprint; it can enable them to push further into contested territory, relay detailed radar information to their team while being undetectable to the enemy.

GECM is found mounted on a variety of Mechs, Aerospace and Vehicles, typically to flesh out the units role as a scout, except in the case of the Thanatos mech'- which has GECM hardmounted on all variants.

  • The reduction of a units radar signature is only while running Active Radar; and does not grant an 'extra' reduction on top of the reduced signature of Passive Radar.
  • GECM increases the time it takes for an enemy to achieve target lock. This bonus does stack on top of the similar bonus given by running in Passive Radar mode.
  • Overheating will not be masked by GECM.
  • Air GECM, on VTOLs and Aerospace reduces lock on time, but does not reduce detection range. This means there is no reason to for VTOLs and Aerospace with GECM to use Passive Radar.
