Next Generation Jammer

Abstract

This Program Element (PE 0604274N) supports the AN/ALQ-249 NGJ-MB program. NGJ-MB will address AEA capability and sufficiency gaps against enemy threats operating in the middle frequency bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. In addition, this PE supports NGJ-MB Extended (MBX), which involves an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) to the current NGJ-MB system that will extend the upper frequency coverage limit to counter modern and adaptive threats. This modification will improve frequency range of the NGJ-MB system and enhance the survivability of the platform and protected entities against emerging threats. In total, NGJ-MB will provide the ability to effectively engage enemy threats from increased stand-off distances, employ increased capacity (number of jamming assignments) against enemy targets, and support agile employment by operators. The NGJ-MB system will be integrated on the EA-18G tactical aircraft and will augment and then replace the legacy AN/ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System in the middle frequency bands. NGJ-MB is a Cooperative development and production program with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).
