Boeing announced in October 2021 that it would deploy an advanced Next-Generation Jammer (NGJ-MB) for the U.S. Navy's EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft, a project valued at $14.5 million. cell phone jammerThe Maryland-based Naval Air Systems Command requested additional testing and engineering from Boeing to integrate the NGJ-MB into the Growler aircraft. signal jammerThis advanced electronic jammer has the ability to attack multiple targets simultaneously and utilizes a modular open system design to ensure rapid upgrades and adaptability to future needs.GPS jammer

　　The NGJ-MB design will replace the AN/ALQ-99 tactical jamming system used on the EA-18G for more than 40 years, and is designed to improve the overall effectiveness of electronic warfare. drone jammerThe system achieves long-range combat advantages by blocking, disrupting and degrading enemy communications and air defense radars. Raytheon's combination of agile active electronically scanned arrays (AESA) and a fully digital backend ensures the advancement of jamming technology. It is worth noting that NGJ-MB not only improves the combat capability of the "Growler", but also has a strong cyber attack capability, interfering with enemy systems through customized data streams.GSM jammer

　　In addition, the open system architecture of NGJ-MB means that it will be able to be upgraded according to future technological advances, allowing it to remain competitive in a changing battlefield environment. Navy officials said that the development goal of the system is to enhance the flexibility and precision of electronic attacks and expand the coverage of interference, especially in the face of advanced threats. In the future, the NGJ system may be further integrated into platforms such as the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and drones, demonstrating Boeing and Raytheon's continued innovation in the field of electronic warfare.

　　Raytheon and Boeing join forces to enhance electronic warfare capabilities

　　Raytheon and Boeing have partnered to deploy the new generation of electronic jammers NGJ-MB to the EA-18G "Growler" electronic warfare aircraft, aiming to improve the combat capabilities of the US Navy through advanced technology. This jammer has multiple functions, can interfere with multiple targets at the same time, uses high-power beam jamming technology, and has strong cyber attack capabilities.

　　As a modular jammer, NGJ-MB is capable of rapid technical upgrades to cope with increasingly complex electronic warfare environments. Raytheon delivered the first NGJ-MB pod for testing in 2019, heralding the maturity and practicality of this technology. The introduction of this system will enable the Growler aircraft to conduct electronic attacks more effectively, especially in blocking enemy communications and air defense radars.

　　To ensure the successful integration of NGJ-MB, Boeing will invest heavily in engineering design and testing. In addition, the system will also be applicable to other platforms, showing a wide range of application prospects. Raytheon's NGJ system, combined with the latest gallium nitride (GaN) technology, can increase the interoperability and threat coverage of electronic warfare while improving jamming accuracy.

　　The Navy's goal is to use these new technologies to not only enhance the combat effectiveness of existing aircraft, but also lay the foundation for future electronic warfare missions. With the participation of L3Harris Technologies, the development of the next-generation low-band jammer NGJ-LB is also in full swing, further enhancing the combat potential of the EA-18G. This collaboration will provide the U.S. Navy with powerful electronic warfare capabilities, enabling it to maintain an advantage in complex battlefield environments.
