Next Generation Jammer (NGJ)

Abstract

The Next Generation Jammer Increment 1 (NGJ Inc 1) Mid-Band 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 keep pace with threat weapons systems advances and continuous expansion of the AEA mission area. Next Generation Jammer is an evolutionary acquisition program providing capability in three increments: Increment 1 (Mid-Band), Increment 2 (Low-Band) funded under PE 0604282N, and Increment 3 (High-Band) which is currently unfunded. 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 AN/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.
