Feel the noise: Next Generation Jammer brings electronic attack into the digital age...
Two-and-a-half years after being contracted for the engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) phase of the US Navy’s (USN’s) AN/ALQ-249(V)1 Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band (NGJ-MB) system, Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems is now deep into systems integration activities, with pod flight testing due to start before the end of 2019.
The NGJ-MB development represents the first part of the USN’s long-term plan to augment, and eventually replace, the AN/ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System (TJS) carried by the EA-18G Growler.

Demonstration of EA-18G GROWLER ...
A variant of the combat-proven F/A-18F Super Hornet, the EA-18G Growler provides tactical jamming and electronic protection to U.S. military forces and allies around the world.
> Advanced Electronics Jamming
The EA-18G Growler is the most advanced airborne electronic attack (AEA) platform and is the only one in production today. A variant of the combat-proven F/A-18F Super Hornet, the Growler provides tactical jamming and electronic protection to U.S. military forces and allies around the world. Industry and the U.S. Navy continue to invest in advanced Growler capabilities to ensure it continues to protect all strike aircraft during high-threat missions for decades to come.
