Meet The Military's New $1 Billion Electronic Jammer by mazeltov(m): 6:16pm On Apr 21, 2016

One billion dollars of electronic warfare tech will be amping up the Growler fighter jet.

This week, the U.S. Navy awarded a $1 billion contract to Raytheon to build the Next Generation Jammer (NGJ). Chosen to replace the legacy ALQ-99 systems used on the EA-18G Growler, the NGJ is a cutting-edge electronic attack smart pod that will take the already-impressive Growler capabilities to an unprecedented level.

The NGJ will play a vital role in staying ahead of adversaries’ capabilities. The tech will give the US military even greater power, further enhanced precision, and a faster response time for electronic attack and electronic warfare counter-measures.
To help thwart adversaries from targeting them, US forces can deploy jammers, making aircraft and troops “invisible” to enemy tech. Preventing detection enables effective strikes and helps keep American fighters safe.

Jammers can also even be used to create phantom aircraft to mislead enemy forces into believing other aircraft are in the air.
Growler

The NGJ will enhance what is arguably the most advanced airborne electronic attack aircraft in the world: the EA-18G Growler. The Growler regularly provides tactical jamming and electronic protection to U.S. military forces and allies around the world.

A variant of the F/A-18F Super Hornet, the aircraft combines electronic attack with fighter aircraft speed and maneuverability. Typically crewed with one pilot and one weapon systems officer, Growler can reach speeds of 1190 mph.

Ahead of ground, maritime, and other aircraft teams, Growler can enter the fight first, unleashing a devastating electronic attack. Using electronic attack tech, the aircraft can suppress enemy air and ground defenses.
By jamming enemy radar, the Growler helps both air crews and ground strike teams to reach their target without being detected.

In addition to jamming the adversary’s communications over a broad frequency range, the ALQ-227 Communications Countermeasures Set also allows the Growler to locate, record, and play back enemy transmissions.

US forces need to work in heavily jammed environments. The Growler can unleash its Interference Cancellation System to defeat the jamming systems and ensure uninterrupted radio communications for ground, maritime, and air forces.

Equipped with AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles, the Growler can protect itself as well as attack enemy aircraft.
How does it work?

Electronic warfare capabilities are shrouded in secrecy and the NGJ is no exception.

In electronic warfare, radio waves, laser light or other directed energy are weaponized to disrupt, disable, or confuse the enemy's electronics. This type of capability also allows US forces to sense incoming missile radar, listen to adversaries’ radio signals, and more. ery few details have emerged about the NGJ, but here’s what we know. NGJ will involve a combination of agile, high-powered beam-jamming techniques together with truly next gen solid-state electronics. Many of the Growler’s jamming capabilities fit in the gun bay and in two wingtip pods.
The military will receive 14 Growler aeromechanical pods for airworthiness certification as well as 15 Engineering Development Model pods for mission systems testing and qualification from Raytheon.

The Navy is aiming for operational capability in 2021.

Hmmm...


With all the jammers, they couldn't still jam scammers' attacks.

Pls, can it jam some comment from appearing here on Nairaland?

This write-up is nothing but an embarrassingly poor attempt by Amerika to give illusion that they are keeping up with EW technology.

What Amerika does best is regale us with mind-boggling lies & jungle stories, which further lends credence to the notion that everything about Amerika is overrated, overpriced & overhyped.

The truth is; Amerika can never measure up to Mother Russia in terms of military capabilities. And please, don't bore me with that Amerikan military expenditure horseshit.

I remember the Amerikan zombies on NL (especially that dickhead called ValerianSteel cheesy ) describing the Russian military as a “paper tiger” that would be easily crushed by NATO, but they fail to understand that in conventional warfare, numbers means nothing.

In Ukriane, for example, a handful of Russian soldiers took the entire Ukrainian military to the pit latrine grin

After Russian electronic warfare equipment began arriving in Crimea, Ukrainian troops noticed a problem - their phones and radios were unusable for hours at a time, essentially cutting off unit's ability to communicate with each other - while being bombarded with fire & brimstones from the Russian artillery cheesy

Even the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe also felt the effect of Russia’s electronic warfare capabilities.

On at least 3 separate occasions the OSCE reported its monitoring drones were subjected to military-grade electronic warfare while flying over territories controlled by the Russian-supported separatists. In each case, they were rendered blind and forced to end their missions. grin

In Syria, Russia’s Krasukha-4  - A jamming system mounted on a simple four axle military truck , shields Russian forces from NATO spying, and is able to neutralize Amerika's low-earth orbit (LEO) spy satellites.

Russia’s Richag-AV radar jamming system fits on helicopters, ships and other military equipment and is reportedly capable of jamming an adversary’s advanced weapons systems as far as several hundred kilometers away.

Russia has also developed a new electronic warfare system which could disable Amerikan cruise missiles and other advanced precision guided weaponry employed by the Amerikan useless military. grin

Now, with these EW devices, please convince me on how Amerika or NATO can stand for just 6days against Mother Russia in a full-scale war? grin

By the time Amerika's $1Billion contract to Raytheon is delivered, 26 Russian Topol-Ms & Bulavas would have transformed Amerika from the land of the free into a Nuclear wasteland. cheesy

Do you need an hammer to bang out your blindness and hypocrisy.

Please remind yourself always that the United States is the world's Superpower and her military will never be rivalled by Russia or any other.

Like I've stated in time past,the US has the resources to build weapons that would counter any technology from Russia.Specifically,there's over $10billion dedicated to outsmart Russia.While you guys are busy parading your new weapon,America already has plans to develop counter weapons.

Just when you guys bragged about Russia's super fast torpedoes,the United States unveiled the new Mark torpedoes.

Just when you guys bragged about your super ICBM's,the United States revealed development of it's Super Hypersonic missile.

Just when you've been ranting about your Khirbny and Krasukha.Here you have your reply.

Russia will never beat US at it's own game.

You are on point as usual.. And you can easily tell by spotting things like.. will be, probably did, may be, most probably .. Anything you see like this is nothing but pure propaganda, fear mongering or even assuring its puppets.. The last time it was UK judge saying Putin Probably ordered the death of the Russian Citizen they killed themselves in UK..

Now take a look at the poorly composed article

One billion dollars of electronic warfare tech will be amping up the Growler fighter jet.

For a country that is 10 years behind the EW tech.... Another anglozionist Empire of Lie lie and assuring its puppets that we are still here oh, doing something..

Puppets should please attack Russia now. They are in Syria.. Saudi and Turkey should please take over Northern Syria now. i think it's high tim China and Russia attack the FIAT regime that has been used to just do junks. Just printing paper and calling figures anyhow and in the end you get junks.
Crooks.
