During
the EMD phase the system will be further developed before being produced.
The capability is expected to reach its system-level critical design review
in early- to mid-2017. This will finalize the design and allow for the
fabrication and assembly of test articles. NGJ Inc 1, an external jamming pod, will replace the AN/ALQ-99 tactical jamming system currently integrated on the EA-18G GROWLER® aircraft. It will address advanced and emerging threats alike, as well as the growing numbers of threats. NGJ Inc 1 uses the latest digital, software-based and Active Electronically Scanned Array technologies and will provide enhanced airborne electronic attack capabilities to disrupt and degrade enemy air defense and ground communication systems. |
