Etymology

ECCM stands for electronic counter-countermeasures, and a good way to remember it is the double counter: counter means 'against', so a 'countermeasure' is something that acts 'against' an attack, and counter-countermeasures are actions to beat those 'countermeasures'. So, ECCM means methods to stop enemy jamming and keep our radios and sensors working.
