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 ALQ-99 also interferes with the aircraft's AESA radar, reduces the top speed of the aircraft and imposes a high workload on the two man crew. [2] The United States Marine Corps is considering replacing their Northrop Grumman EA-6B Prowler electronic attack aircraft with F-35s that have stealthy jammer pods attached. [3]
AN/ALQ-99: Tactical Jamming System (TJS), active electronic countermeasure jammer/deceiver: EA-6B Prowler, EA-18G Growler, EF-111A Raven: EDO Corporation: AN/ALQ-100: Internally mounted active Electronic countermeasure system: A-4 Skyhawk, A-7 Corsair II, EA-6 Prowler, F-14 Tomcat [29] Sanders Associates: AN/ALQ-101: Pod-mounted electronic ...
This contract supports L3Harris’ delivery of operational prototype pods to the U.S. Naval Air Systems Command for fleet assessment and additional test assets for airworthiness and design verification. The NGJ-LB pods will fly on the EA-18G Growler and will support the Navy’s plan to replace the aging AN/ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System.
Eleven days ago, the Pentagon gave Raytheon investors a big shot in the arm, announcing it had awarded a $279 million contract to replace Exelis's aging ALQ-99 "tactical jamming" BAE Systems ...
VMAQ squadrons operated the EA-6B Prowler [100] and were tasked with providing electronic attack, electronic counter-countermeasures, radar jamming and suppression of enemy air defense using the AN/ALQ-99 jamming pod [101] and the AGM-88 HARM. Each of the four squadrons operated five aircraft and were land-based, although they were capable of ...
The poor reliability of the ALQ-99 jammer pod and frequent failures of the Built-In Test (BIT) have caused the crew to fly missions with undetected faults. The ALQ-99 has also interfered with the aircraft's AESA radar and has imposed a high workload on the two-man crew, along with reducing the Growler's top speed. [31]
The Next Generation Jammer is being developed to replace the current AN/ALQ-99 carried on the E/A-18G electronic warfare plane. Planned for adoption around 2020, it will use a small AESA antenna divided into quadrants [ 5 ] for all around coverage and retain the capability of highly directional jamming.
