EA-18G Development

Abstract

The EA-18G development program upgrades the Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) capability to detect, identify, locate and suppress hostile emitters; provides enhanced connectivity to National, Theater and Strike assets; and provides passive organic precision emitter targeting for employment of precision strike weapons and onboard suppression weapons (High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile family) to fulfill operational requirements. The EA-18G is the only tactical AEA platform for the joint force and is continually called upon to provide effects for USN, USMC, and USAF assets. There is no planned replacement for the EA-18G and improvements will fill capability gaps for the Air Wing of the Future North Star effort.
