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.

Change Summary Explanation
Technical: Not applicable. Schedule: Since the previous President's Budget, NGJ has transitioned to an incremental approach, eliminating the requirement for additional milestones under the block approach. Specifically, Milestone B (Block 2), Technology Demonstration Awards (Blocks 2 & 3) and Engineering & Manufacturing Devlopment (Block 2) have been removed from the current R-4 and R-4A exhibits. Engineering Milestones have been added to the R-4 and R-4A exhibits to provide additional detail. System Functional Review is scheduled for 2nd QTR 2014. Preliminary Design Review is scheduled for 1st QTR 2015. Critical Design Review is scheduled for 3rd QTR 2016. Prototype Demonstration was removed as an individual event. This will be conducted as part of the Technology Demonstration Phase.
