NGJ replaces legacy ALQ-99 used on the EA-18G electronic attack aircraft.

Raytheon will provide engineering and test support services for the ALQ-249 Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) under development for USN EA-18G Growler aircraft, the DoD announced on 6 January.

Under a $34.3 million contract from the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, Raytheon will provide software support for integration of the NGJ pod (pictured) on the Growler.

This work includes requirements analysis, design, development, integration, testing, training and tools related to and in support of ALQ-249 and other unnamed advanced EW initiatives, for FMS customers as well as the USN.

Work will be performed in El Segundo, California for completion in January 2025.
