Description
Mission — Next Generation Jammer
This Program Element (PE 0604274N) supports the AN/ALQ-249 NGJ-MB program. NGJ-MB will address AEA capability and sufficiency gaps against enemy threats operating in the middle frequency bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. In addition, this PE supports NGJ-MB Extended (MBX), which is an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) to the current NGJ-MB system that will extend the upper frequency coverage limit to counter modern and adaptive threats. This modification will increase frequency range of the NGJ-MB system and enhance the survivability of the platform and protected entities against emerging threats. In total, NGJ-MB will provide the ability to effectively engage enemy threats from increased stand-off distances, employ increased capacity (number of jamming assignments) against enemy targets, and support agile employment by operators. The NGJ-MB system will be integrated on the EA-18G tactical aircraft and will augment and then replace the legacy AN/ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System in the middle frequency bands. NGJ-MB (to include MBX) is a Cooperative development and production program with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).
Mission — Next Generation Jammer (NGJ)
The Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band (NGJ-MB) (formerly known as Next Generation Jammer Increment 1) is the next step in the evolution of Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA). It is a critical capability necessary to defend against current, evolving, and developing Electronic Warfare gaps, ensures kill chain wholeness against growing threat capabilities and capacities, keeps pace with enemy threat weapon systems' advancements, and supports the continuous expansion of the AEA mission areas that exceed the capability of legacy systems. NGJ-MB utilizes enhanced techniques and tactics to deliver significantly improved radar and communications jamming effectiveness to include classified capabilities. Utilizing Modular Open Systems Architecture supporting software and hardware updates to rapidly counter emergent and evolving threats, NGJ-MB is a key enabler and force multiplier for operations across the spectrum of missions defined in the Defense Strategic Guidance, including strike warfare, projecting power in highly contested environments, and counterinsurgency/irregular warfare. NGJ-MB also addresses the shortfalls in scalability, flexibility, supportability, interoperability, availability, and capability of the existing AN/ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System to ensure continued spectrum dominance. This Program Element (PE 0604274N) supports the AN/ALQ-249 NGJ-MB program. NGJ-MB will address AEA capability and sufficiency gaps against enemy threats operating in the middle frequency bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. In addition, this PE supports NGJ-MB Extended (MBX), which is an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) to the current NGJ-MB system that will extend the upper frequency coverage limit to counter modern and adaptive threats.
