The Next Generation Jammer Low Band (NGJ-LB) is a high-powered,
high-capacity airborne electronic warfare (EW) system. L3Harris’
single-pod solution enables extended stand-off jamming capability,
covers a broad spectrum and processes an increased number of
threats. The system operates seamlessly with joint and allied
forces, and provides growth capacity for emerging threats.
“The Next-Generation Jammer Low Band contract highlights
L3Harris’ long-standing commitment to support the U.S. Navy’s
mission to maintain superiority on land, sea and in the air,” said
Dana Mehnert, President, Communication Systems Segment, L3Harris.
“The selection of L3Harris demonstrates our company’s strength as a
technology prime to provide a truly unique solution that meets the
Navy’s need to address all contested environments.”
The company will deliver eight operational pods to NAVAIR for
fleet assessment, and additional test assets for airworthiness and
design verification. The NGJ-LB pods will be flown on the EA-18G
Growler and continue the Navy’s plan to address operational gaps
and replace the aging ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System pods operating
in the low frequency spectrum.
