Next Generation Jammer (NGJ)

Abstract

Decrease in NEXT GENERATION JAMMER (NGJ) by $1.724M as required for the Department of the Navy to comply with the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015. 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 is an evolutionary acquisition program providing capability in three increments: Increment 1 (Mid-Band), Increment 2 funded under PE 0604282N (Low-Band) and Increment 3 (High-Band). The order of development - mid, low, and then high - was determined by the threat and available capability. NGJ Inc 1 capabilities will address Mid-Band AEA capability gaps, AEA sufficiency gaps, and address ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System shortfalls in scalability, flexibility, supportability, interoperability, availability, and capability. NGJ Inc 1 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 Inc 1 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.

Change Summary Explanation
Technical: Not applicable. Schedule: Project Unit 0557: The IPR DAB LRIP Pre-FFP release event is no longer required before Milestone C. Program schedule review re-baselined Production Readiness Review (PRR) from 4th Qtr. 2018 to 2nd Qtr. 2019. Engineering Development Models (EDMs) final deliveries moved from 4th Qtr. 2019 to 2nd Qtr. 2020. The Test Readiness Review (TRR) and the Flight Readiness Review (FRR) were separated into an aeromechanical phase and a mission system phase. As each phase requires a distinct set of data, the program separated them to show more fidelity and visibility into the incremental test approach.
