Electronic warfare (EW) competition set for low-band aircraft jammer pod

摘要

U.S. Navy aerial electronic warfare (EW) experts are taking the next step in developing a complete pod solution for low-band tactical RF jammers to enable Navy EA-18G Growler carrier-based aircraft to foil enemy counter-stealth radar systems. Officials of the Naval Air Systems Command at Patuxent River Naval Air Station, Md., issued a solicitation last month (N00019-19-R-0069) for the Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) Low Band (LB) Capability Block 1 (CB1) project.
