Raytheon awaits NGJ design reviews
Raytheon is looking ahead to the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and Critical Design Review (CDR) for the company’s Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) airborne electronic warfare system.
The company is developing the NGJ (a podded system) for the United States Navy, which is replacing the legacy EDO Corporation/Exelis AN/ALQ-99 jamming pods used on its now-retired Northrop Grumman EA-6B Prowler electronic warfare aircraft and the replacement Boeing EA-18G Prowler jets.
Raytheon performed a series of flight tests of the NGJ from the US Navy’s Point Mugu Naval Air Station in California during October.
