Raytheon's Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band is an advanced electronic attack system that denies, disrupts and degrades enemy technology, including communication tools and air-defense systems.
AN/ALQ-249 Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band (NGJ-MB): As an external carriage AEA capability for the EA-18G Growler, NGJ-MB focuses on the middle frequency bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. The system comprises pods, as well as small hardware and software modifications to the EA-18G Growler aircraft to enable carriage, communication, and employment. NGJ-MB achieved Milestone C in 2021, allowing the program to enter the Production and Deployment acquisition phase. The Low Rate Initial Production III contract was awarded in March 2023, and the first production pods were delivered to the fleet in July 2023. NGJ-MB program is a joint cooperative program between the U.S. Department of Defense and the Australian Department of Defence.
Next Generation Jammer Low Band (NGJ-LB): As an external carriage AEA capability for the EA-18G Growler, NGJ-LB will use the latest digital and software-based technologies that address advanced and emerging threats in the lower frequency bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. NGJ-LB is currently in the Engineering and Manufacturing Development acquisition phase and is a joint cooperative program between the U.S. Department of Defense and the Australian Department of Defence.
