Next Generation Jammer (NGJ)

Abstract

This project develops new technology in a Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) capability system, with increased electronic radiation power generation to replace the existing ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System. NGJ is required to keep pace with threat weapons systems advances 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.
