The MALD-J is the jammer variant of the basic ADM-160 Miniature Air Launched Decoy, a decoy missile developed by Raytheon. The first MALD-J was delivered to the Air Force on September 6, 2012 and the system completed operational testing in April 2015.

It is launched against a preplanned target and jam specific radars in a stand-in role to degrade or deny the IADS detection of friendly aircraft or munitions. |
