One of many F90 Gundam F90 optional armament variations developed by the Earth Federation Forces’ SNRI during the UC 0110s and 0120s, the F90E Gundam F90 E-Type (Electronic) was designed as an intelligence gathering and electronic warfare unit. The E-Type could scout an area in advance of allied forces thanks to the radome mounted on its back and other equipment on its shoulders and rear waist. The E-Type could also carry a jamming rifle to generate electronic interference that blocked radio waves. The E-Type was able to mount different configurations of weapons like a machine gun, shield, shot lancer and more, but not necessarily all at the same time. In UC 0112, test pilot Patsy Angelika performed a field test of the E-Type’s jamming rifle and other equipment during a mock battle in a shoal zone.
