No mention of defensive ECM upgrades.

Fifteen or so years ago, the F-18 still had not received the planned IDECM upgrade. The equipment bay was there, but no hardware.

By that time, many of the original components of the first modules were not available, due to suppliers going out of business.

What do the modern F-18s have, as the earlier ones were never fielded with the defensive ECM they were supposed to have had from the beginning?

Good idea. I should take my Super Hornet in, too.
