Next Generation Jammer (NGJ)

Abstract

This project develops a Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) capability and appropriate technologies required to replace the existing ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System. NGJ is required to keep pace with advances in threat weapons systems and continuous expansion of the Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) mission area. NGJ capabilities will address AEA capability gaps, AEA sufficiency gaps and address ALQ-99 shortfalls in scalability, flexibility, supportability, interoperability, availability and capability. NGJ will adopt an adaptable, modular, and open architecture philosophy to combat the increasing capability gap and enable future growth at a reduced operational and sustainment cost. NOTE: NGJ was previously funded under PE 0604270N as part of project 0556 Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA). NGJ effort was budgeted $36.006M under PE 0604270N 0556 in FY09.

Change Summary Explanation
Technical: Not applicable. Schedule: Multiple competitive Technology Maturation contracts are planned for award in 2010 to develop detailed engineering and programmatic plans for key technology demonstrations. Technical Maturation Awards changed due to Material Solution Analysis Phase as defined by Defense AT&L. Additional technology maturation efforts are being conducted to develop the required component level technologies required to support the advanced capabilities of NGJ. FY11 from previous President's Budget is shown as zero because no FY11-15 data was presented in President's Budget 2010.
