The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.
● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.

blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.
Asked vs spent: the PB2018 book requested $632.9M for FY2018; the PB2020 book reported $584.5M as actual total obligation authority — $48.4M below the request. 584.5 − 632.9 = -48.4 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
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. 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).

Follow the dollar
Appropriation → program element → top high-confidence awards → recipient families → congressional districts.
Follow-the-dollar covers 312 of 1,938 programs — only high-confidence budget→award links are shown. why coverage is partial? →
The diagram illustrates the cited table below — amounts shown in the diagram are transaction sums per award (no citation chips); the per-district obligations in the table cite USAspending queries.
Related awards
Award linkage is shown for 32 of 200 profiled companies — high- and medium-confidence USAspending matches, each row labeled; medium is the weaker evidence. why partial award coverage? →

|---|---|---|
| RAYTHEON COMPANY | N0001916C0002 | high |
| THE BOEING COMPANY | N0001916C0032 | high |
Contractor concentration
No concentration index is published for this line. This line's high-confidence links do not clear the floor for a published concentration index — at least 3 awards across 2 contractor families holding positive obligations, with positive net linked dollars. An index below that floor is a fact about the sample, not about the market. Whatever further links this line carries are medium-confidence, and what each medium evidence path does and does not establish is set out in the methodology. Both bases are in the downloadable warehouse.
Lobbying mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Next Generation Jammer (NGJ). No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
Program dossier
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
