U.S. Navy Fit Checks Next Gen Jammer on EA-18G Growler

The U.S. Navy fit checked a Next Generation Jammer on a EA-18G Growler at Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 23.

The first Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band (NGJ-MB) engineering development model pod delivered to the Navy is fit checked on an EA-18G Growler at Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 23 in September.

The fit check was used to verify that pod securely attached to the Growler in preparation for flight tests scheduled to begin later this year.

Raytheon delivered the first NGJ-MB to the U.S. Navy this summer. The company will deliver 15 EMD pods for mission systems testing and qualification as well as 14 aeromechanical pods for airworthiness certification.

NGJ-MB is a high-capacity and power airborne electronic attack weapon system for the EA-18G Growler. It will protect air forces by denying, degrading and disrupting threat radars and communication devices.

Raytheon’s NGJ-MB architecture and design include the ability to operate at a significantly enhanced range, attack multiple targets simultaneously and advanced jamming techniques. The technology can also be scaled to other missions and platforms.
