EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Nov. 13 (UPI) -- Raytheon's Next Generation Jammer program reached a key milestone as the program completed the U.S. Navy's preliminary design review.
The Next Generation Jammer, a program contracted by the Navy in 2013, is being developed to replace the ALFQ-99 systems used on the EA-18G airborne electronic attack aircraft. The system provides electronic attack and jamming capabilities for the aircraft, aiming to assist pilots in denying, degrading and disrupting threats from the air.
