Next Generation Jammer (NGJ)

Abstract

NOTE: The cost to complete on exhibit R2 and R2a for project unit 0557 should be $213.000M and the total cost $3,444.988M. The cost to complete on exhibit R2 and R2a for project unit 3380 should be $530.810M and the total cost $1,018.463M. Total Program Element cost to complete $743.810M and total cost $4,463.451M. The Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) is the next step in the evolution of Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) and is needed to meet current and emerging Electronic Warfare gaps, ensure kill chain wholeness against growing threat capabilities and capacity, and to keep pace with threat weapons systems advances and continuous expansion of the AEA mission area. NGJ capabilities will address AEA capability gaps, AEA sufficiency gaps, and address ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System shortfalls in scalability, flexibility, supportability, interoperability, availability, and capability. NGJ will deliver significantly improved radar and communications jamming capabilities with Open Systems Architecture that supports software and hardware updates to rapidly counter improving threats. NGJ will contribute across the spectrum of missions defined in the Defense Strategic Guidance to include strike warfare, projecting power despite anti-access/area denial challenges, and counterinsurgency/irregular warfare. NGJ is an evolutionary acquisition program providing capability in three increments: Increment 1 (Mid-Band), Increment 2 (Low-Band) and Increment 3 (High-Band). The order of development - mid, low, and then high - was determined by the threat and available capability. Increment 3 remains unfunded at this time.

Change Summary Explanation
Technical: Not applicable. Schedule: Schedule has shifted by nine months due to Technology Development (TD) contract award protest. TD contract award occurred in 4th Qtr FY 2013, however protest delayed start of execution of the TD contract period of performance to early 2nd Qtr FY 2014. As a result of protest delay to program execution, a revised cost estimate was developed to reflect this nine month shift in schedule. Program milestones needed to be further adjusted to reflect protest delay and funding adjustments. System Demonstration Test Article RDTEN Deliveries (SDTA) was previously listed as Low Rate Initial Production 1.
