I have a history-related question. What was the first ECM airborne jammer (QRC or ALQ, or ALT-series and, if required by the setup, the associated receiver/processor from the ALR and APR family) to employ a real microprocessor? By that I mean a real microprocessor in a form of a single chip like Intel's 4004, or Intel's 8008, which appeared only around 1971 and 1972 and which had very limited capabilities. I presume that more capable early microprocessors like Intel's 8080 of 1974, Zilog's Z80 of 1976 and Motorola's 6800 of 1978 must have been more feasible for military applications.
Please do not mention the F-14 CADC, which apparently used numerous MOS integrated circuits to form the CPU.
