Business Wire
L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) has received a five-year
contract, worth up to $587.4 million, to deliver custom tactical
jamming pods designed to modernize the U.S. Navy’s Aerial
Electronic Attack capability.
The Next Generation Jammer – Low Band (NGJ-LB) is an advanced
airborne electronic warfare system. L3Harris’ solution consolidates
advanced processing with increased jamming capability and will be
easier to maintain than the Navy’s current system through a
modular, open-system architecture that enables seamless upgrades.
The L3Harris system will operate with joint and allied forces to
provide growth capacity for future technology integration to stay
ahead of adversarial capabilities.
“Our Next Generation Jammer – Low Band solution provides the
U.S. Navy with the latest digital, software-based technologies to
address advanced and emerging threats from peer adversaries,” said
Christopher E. Kubasik, Chair and CEO, L3Harris. “L3Harris is proud
to support the Navy’s efforts to extend U.S. air superiority and
operate seamlessly with coalition forces.”
The company will deliver eight operational prototype pods to
U.S. Naval Air Systems Command for fleet assessment and additional
test assets for airworthiness and design verification over the next
five years. The NGJ-LB pods will fly on the EA-18G Growler and will
support the Navy’s plan to replace the aging AN/ALQ-99 Tactical
Jamming System.
