The Boeing EA-18G Growler is a carrier-based, twin turbofan, two seater aircraft used for airborne electronic warfare. The electronic warfare capability is provided by Northrop Grumman. This aircraft was to bound the F/A-18A capabilities along with the electronic warfare. The Growler features AESA (APG-79 Active Electronically Scanned Array), ALQ-218 receiver, ALQ-99 Jamming pods, Joint Tactical Terminal - Receiver (JTT-R) and ALQ-227 Communication Countermeasures Set (CCS).
The E/A-18G Growler shares the same airframe as the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet with the addition of the ALQ-218 receiver pods on each wingtip. The Growler is a highly versatile aircraft due to its avionics, cockpit displays, and excellent aerodynamic characteristics, with the ability to carry a variety of air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons. ALQ-218 receivers and the ALQ-99 pods work together to help the pilot and electronic warfare officer(EWO) perform electronic attack (EA), electronic surveillance (ES), and the overall electronic warfare (EW) mission. The versatility of the Growler has proven itself to be valuable to not only the U.S. Navy, but to the U.S. Air Force by deploying with both branches and executing the EW mission successfully.
The Growler made its first flight in 2006 and joined an Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ-129) in 2008 located in Whidbey Island, Washington. The Growler’s predecessor, the E/A-6B Prowler, made the transition to the Growler in 2010 when the Growler was declared safe for flight. The Growler also made its first deployment in late 2010 and continues to deploy today. It continues to play a crucial role for the U.S. Military in the always evolving fight for dominance in the electromagnetic spectrum.
