SEAD and ELINT aircraft often have sensitive and sophisticated RWR equipment like the U. S. HTS ( HARM targeting system ) pod which is able to find and classify threats which are much further away than those detected by a typical RWR, and may be able to overlay threat circles on a map in the aircraft's multi-function display ( MFD ), providing much better information for avoiding or engaging threats, and may even store information to be analyzed later or transmitted to the ground to help the commanders plan future missions.
