Airborne Electronic Warfare system
Next Generation Jammer
The Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) is a program to develop airborne electronic warfare systems as replacements for the AN/ALQ-99 found on the EA-18G Growler and EA-6B Prowler electronic attack aircraft. Requirements for the system were outlined by the US Navy in 2008 and development of the NGJ program began in 2010. The mid-band portion of the NGJ (NGJ-MB), designated AN/ALQ-249, reached Initial Operating Capability (IOC) in 2021. In accordance with the Joint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS), the "AN/ALQ-249" designation represents the 249th design of an Army-Navy airborne electronic device for special countermeasures equipment. The JETDS system also now is used to name all Department of Defense and some NATO electronic systems.
