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 utilize 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/PU 0556 EW Development. NGJ effort budgeted for $36.006M under PE 0604270N/PU 0556 in FY 2009.
