Raytheon in partnership with the U.S. Navy, has completed the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) for the Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) program, a key milestone in the acquisition process. Raytheon is now set to begin detailed design work on the airborne electronic attack system.
Raytheon and the Navy have made system engineering process discipline a top priority from the outset of the NGJ program. The Jammer's open architecture design, coupled with high-powered, solid state electronics and agile jamming techniques, will enable us to meet U.S. Navy electronic warfare mission requirements while ensuring the affordability of future upgrades.
The NGJ is scheduled to replace legacy ALQ-99 jamming pods, delivering new capabilities for the Navy's EA-18G Growler. The Navy plans to declare Initial Operating Capability for the Jammer in 2021.
