Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) Increment II

Abstract

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 (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 1 is funded under Program Element 0604274N Project Unit 0557. Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) Increment II capabilities will address low-band AEA capability gaps, AEA sufficiency gaps, and address ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System shortfalls in scalability, flexibility, supportability, interoperability, availability, and capability. Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) Increment II will deliver significantly improved radar and communications jamming capabilities with Open Systems Architecture that supports software and hardware updates to rapidly counter improving threats. Additionally, NGJ Inc 2 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. The Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) Increment II program was previously budgeted under PE 0604274N and was moved to PE 0604282N beginning in FY 2016.
