The ALQ-218 is mainly featured aboard the U.S. Navy's Boeing EA-18G Growler aircraft, [3] [4] which has replaced the EA-6B Prowler in the U.S. Navy. [5] The ALQ-218 was previously on the Grumman EA-6B Prowler, which the Improved Capability III ALQ-218 was modified and integrated into the EA-18G's Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) system. [6]
The AN/ALQ-99 system on EA-6B Prowler Aircraft. The EA-6B in the foreground carries 3 under-wing jamming pods for transmitting and a single fixed pod on its tail for receiving. The ALQ-99 is an airborne integrated jamming system designed and manufactured by EDO Corporation. Receiver equipment and antennas are mounted in a fin-tip pod while ...
The AN/APG-77 system itself exhibits a very low radar cross-section, supporting the F-22's stealthy design. [3] The upgraded APG-77(V)1 may have an even greater range. Much of the technology developed for the APG-77 was used in the AN/APG-81 radar for the F-35 Lightning II , and in turn the technology from the APG-81 was applied to the upgraded ...

The United States Air Force selected this radar for the 3DELRR programme (3-dimensional expeditionary long range radar) in February 2022. [5] The plan is to replace the TPS-75 with 35 AN/TPY-4(V)1 by 2028. [6] 2 ordered in April 2022 for USD $75.0 million. [7] 4 ordered in February 2023 for USD $84.9 million. [7]
As of July 2008, 100 APG-79 sets had been delivered to the United States Navy, and the Navy expects to order around 437 production radars. [4] In January 2013, the Director, Operational Test & Evaluation (DOT&E) disclosed some issues with the APG-79 radar during its initial operational testing, but upgrades have been made over time.
Gives the AN/SPG-62 a high radar resolution, which makes it more effective in determining if there is one contact or multiple contacts [4] Enables the AN/SPG-62 to serve as a secondary, rudimentary search radar (in conjunction with the SPY-1 or SPY-6) [4] Requires a relatively low level of energy to operate (10 kW peak power on average) [1]
Diagram of AN/SPY-3 vertical electronic pencil beam radar conex projections. X band functionality (8 to 12 GHz frequency range) is optimal for minimizing low-altitude propagation effects, narrow beam width for best tracking accuracy, wide frequency bandwidth for effective target discrimination, and the target illumination for SM-2 and Evolved Sea Sparrow Missiles (ESSM).
