EA-18G Growler

Airborne electronic attack aircraft built by Boeing that combines the F/A-18F Super Hornet platform with an electronic warfare suite, replacing the EA-6B Prowler. Initial operational capability and full rate production followed in fall 2009, with the first deployment in November 2010. The AN/ALQ-249 Next Generation Jamming Pod is planned as the successor to the ALQ-99 jamming pods.
