Raytheon, an\u00a0RTX business, has been awarded a\u00a0$590 million\u00a0follow-on production contract from the U.S. Navy for the Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band (NGJ-MB) system.<\/p>\n
NGJ-MB is a cooperative development and production program with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). The contract includes delivery of shipsets, support equipment, spares and non-recurring engineering support.<\/p>\n
Barbara Borgonovi, president of Naval Power at Raytheon: “NGJ-MB is a revolutionary offensive electronic attack system for the joint force that puts a critical combat capability in the hands of our Navy warfighters. We’re working with the U.S. Navy to ensure NGJ-MB provides the advanced electronic warfare solution needed as quickly as possible.”<\/p>\n
The U.S. Navy and RAAF will employ NGJ-MB on the EA-18G\u00a0GROWLER to target advanced radar threats, communications, data links and non-traditional radio frequency threats. The system reduces adversary targeting ranges, disrupts adversary kill chains and supports kinetic weapons to target. NGJ-MB allows naval crews to operate effectively at extended ranges and attack multiple targets simultaneously with advanced techniques.<\/p>\n
Work under this contract will take place in\u00a0McKinney, Texas;\u00a0Forest, Mississippi;\u00a0El Segundo, California; and\u00a0Fort Wayne, Indiana\u00a0through 2028.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
