The Northrop Grumman (formerly Grumman) EA-6B Prowler is a twin-engine, four-seat, mid-wing electronic-warfare aircraft. Operated by both the United States Marine Corps and United States Navy between 1971 and 2019, it was derived from the A-6 Intruder airframe.
The U.S. Navy's EA-6B Prowler were retired from active service following deployment in 2015. The AN/ALQ-99 has a maximum power output of 10.8 kW in its older versions and of 6.8 kW in its newer versions. [3] It uses a ram air turbine to supply its own power. [4] [5] The AN/ALQ-99 is capable of jamming frequencies from 64 MHz to 20 GHz.
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]
Whereas the A-6 fulfilled the USN and USMC all-weather ground-attack/strike mission role, this mission in the USAF was served by the Republic F-105 Thunderchief and later the F-111, the latter which also saw its earlier F-111A variants converted to a radar jammer as the EF-111 Raven, analogous to the USN and USMC EA-6B Prowler. A-6 Intruders ...
AN/SPY-1D(V): Littoral Warfare Radar upgrade for the -1D variant applied to Arleigh Burke-class destroyers DDG 91 onwards, [13] Japanese Atago-class destroyers and Maya-class destroyers, South Korean Sejong the Great-class destroyers (KDX-III), Spanish F-105 frigate and the Australian Hobart-class air warfare destroyers (AWD).
AN/SPS-12 is a completely improved version based on SPS-6C. The antenna measures 17 ft (5.2 m) x 6 ft (1.8 m), weighs 550 lb (250 kg), and has a PRF of 300 to 600 pps. The radar coverage was similar to the AN/SPS-6B. In addition, it could be operated in an environment with a wind speed of up to 70 kn (36 m / s).
In late February 2021, the Missile Defense Agency said that the radar installation was underway, with Initial Operational Capability to be achieved in 2021. [6] Testing for Full Operational Capability is expected by 2023. [5] In mid-August 2023, the Flight Test Other-26 (FTX-26) was cancelled due to an anomaly with the live ballistic missile ...
The Kasta 2E1 (51U6) system uses two antennas and consists of two vehicles: one truck carries the antenna and its peripheral equipment; another truck operates as command post vehicle and on a trailer unit, the external power supply is installed; The Kasta 2E2 (39N6E) system uses one antenna and consists of three vehicles:
