Northrop Grumman Reveals Low-Band Jammer Candidate

Northrop Grumman has revealed the first photograph of a pod for the Next Generation Jammer-Low Band (NGJ-LB) system possibly weeks ahead of a competitive contract award.

The U.S. Navy image released by Northrop shows the full-scale candidate for the NGJ-LB contract during testing inside the Air Combat Environment Test and Evaluation Facility's anechoic chamber.

The image reveals a pod with a dimpled outer mold line similar to the ALQ-99 low-band pods, which the winning NGJ-LB design is expected to augment and then replace.

Northrop and rival L3Harris recently completed anechoic chamber testing of both competing NGJ-LB pods while wrapping up the 20-month Demonstration of Existing Technologies phase, which precedes a contract award for the engineering and manufacturing development phase scheduled in November.

Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) has budgeted $3 billion to develop and build the NGJ-LB pods over the life of the program.

Each pod will be integrated on the Boeing EA-18G aircraft. The low-band pods will complement the Raytheon NGJ-Mid-band pods now in early production. NAVAIR also has expressed long-term interest in a new high-band pod.

Montée en puissance des armées françaises : un effort budgétaire à prolonger
Fabien Gouttefarde, député de l'Eure, membre de la Commission de la défense et des forces armées, publie une analyse dans La Tribune. Il appelle à poursuivre l'effort budgétaire en faveur des armées au-delà de 2025, ainsi qu'à prolonger l'action engagée par Emmanuel Macron en faveur de l'autonomie stratégique européenne. « L'effort budgétaire doit se poursuivre. La marche dite des 3 Md€, bien que haute, devra être franchie pour poursuivre le cycle entamé de réparation de nos armées. Je propose qu'elle se poursuive, en 2026 et 2027 », déclare-t-il.
