Raytheon Wins U.S. Navy Next Generation Jammer Competition
Raytheon
has been awarded a $279.4 million cost-plus-incentive-fee contract by
the U.S. Navy to conduct the Technology Development phase of the Navy’s
Next Generation Jammer program.
“We believe the Navy’s choice validates Raytheon’s
leadership in advanced electronic attack systems and technologies,”
said Rick Yuse, president of Raytheon’s Space and Airborne Systems
business. “Raytheon looks forward to building on our long-standing
relationship with the U.S. Navy as we provide the warfighter with innovative
and reliable Next Generation Jammer solutions now and for many years
to come.”

Next Generation Jammer electronic warfare program
Raytheon
leveraged knowledge and experience as a leading tactical weapon systems
integrator to provide an affordable, low-risk, comprehensive NGJ solution
to the U.S. Navy. Raytheon also leveraged its Gallium nitride (GaN)
based AESA technologies to provide warfighters with enhanced electronic
attack capabilities.
“Raytheon provided the U.S. Navy with an innovative and efficient
design capable of jamming current and future threats,” said Yuse.
“Our technology approach met the program requirements and leveraged
our industry team’s extensive experience in combat-proven, high-reliability
agile-beam RF systems designed for demanding carrier-based aircraft
environments.”
NGJ will replace the ALQ-99 tactical jamming system currently on the
Navy’s EA-18G Growler tactical airborne electronic attack aircraft.
