EA-18G Development

Abstract

The EA-18G is a replacement to the EA-6B aircraft. The EA-18G electronic attack aircraft upgrades the EA-6B (ALQ-218, ALQ-99, USQ-113) Airborne Electronic Attack capability to detect, identify, locate and suppress hostile emitters; provide enhanced connectivity to National, Theater and Strike assets; and provide organic precision emitter targeting for employment of onboard suppression weapon, High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile family of weapons, to fulfill operational requirements. The performance of the aircraft is compatible with the primary strike/fighter aircraft projected to be in the inventory, allowing it to be fully integrated into specific strike packages. The EA-18G has the capability to operate autonomously or as a major node in a network-centric operation and is being designed to perform a range of Electronic Warfare/Electronic Attack functions either simultaneously or independently.
