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 ...
Two Prowler squadrons were also based in Iraq, working with the same mission. [34] According to Chuck Pfarrer in his book SEAL Target Geronimo, an EA-6B was also used to jam Pakistani radar and assist the 2 MH-60 Black Hawk stealth helicopters and 2 Chinook helicopters raiding Osama Bin Laden's compound in Operation Neptune Spear.

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]
The AN/APG-85 is an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar system designed by Northrop Grumman for the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II.The AN/APG-85 is a further development of the AN/APG-81 and is planned to be installed in all three variants of the F-35 aircraft from Lot 17 and onwards, which are planned to enter production in 2025.
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).
Light surface below wing edges is the AN/APQ-181 radar antenna. The AN/APQ-181 is an all-weather, low probability of intercept (LPI) phased array radar system designed by Hughes Aircraft (now Raytheon) for the U.S. Air Force B-2A Spirit bomber aircraft. The system was developed in the mid-1980s and entered service in 1993.
The AN/SPS-49 is a United States Navy two-dimensional, long range air search radar built by Raytheon that can provide contact bearing and range. It is a primary air-search radar for numerous ships in the U.S. fleet and in Spain, Poland, Taiwan aboard Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigates, Canada on its Halifax-class frigate (prior to FELEX mid-life upgrade) and New Zealand on its Anzac-class ...
