Advancing Airborne Electronic Warfare Capabilities
L3Harris Technologies has been awarded a $876.44 million contract modification by the U.S. Navy to continue engineering and manufacturing development of the Next Generation Jammer Low Band, an airborne electronic warfare system. The system is intended to improve the EA-18G Growler’s ability to disrupt lower-frequency radar and communications systems. The contract funds additional equipment, demonstration pods, cybersecurity development, testing, and software support. The program is part of a broader effort to address gaps in the Navy’s airborne electronic attack capability, as reported by TheDefenseWatch.com.
