These pods aren't missiles or weather radars, but used for electronic warfare. It's difficult to determine what they are exactly made for, externally they look more or less the same. [![Falcon 20 pod][9]][9] <sup>Falcon 20 (G-FRAW) pod, in 2012, [source][10]</sup> [Cobham][1] was acquired by [Draken][2] in 2020. It's a contractor in [operational readiness][3] training for UK MoD and US DoD. The pods may be in-house developed or provided by their customers. The image you included is from the 2021 [Joint Warrior exercise][4] in UK. From [this article][5]: > Although the Cobham jets are civilian, they work closely with the MOD and play a major role in proceedings. They are equipped with onboard systems and special electronic warfare mission pods for radar and communications jamming, threat simulation and electronic surveillance. As **Bianfable** mentioned in a now deleted answer, they can also record electronic signals during the exercise for post-exercise debriefing. Typical use from [this article][6], about an exercise involving UK Navy: > An example exercise could be to provide general communications jamming before approaching the ship with two Hawk aircraft flying in close formation with a Falcon 20. The Hawks then accelerate away towards the target to simulate air launched, sea-skimming anti-ship missiles. At the same time, the Falcon uses its under wing threat emitter to simulate a specific missile’s seeker. The aircraft in your picture is part of a fleet of 20 Falcon 20. It frequently participates to this exercise, likely with different pods. This [Youtube video][7] shows aircraft during JW 2017, and G-FRAR starting at 12:12 with a externally similar pod: [![Falcon 20 at Glasgow Prestwick for Join Warrior 2017][8]][8] <sup>Falcon 20 at Glasgow Prestwick for Join Warrior 2017, [source][7]</sup> The gray material is for antenna radome.
