RTX/Raytheon modifies EA-18G Growler’s next-gen electronic attack jammer for land- and sea-based use

Raytheon’s Chuck Angus says RTX is modifying the EA-18G Growler’s next-generation jammer to generate non-kinetic effects and protect high-value assets, using its Surface Electronic Attack System concept so the capability can work from land or sea.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • This is an electronics-warfare capability shift beyond the aircraft-only remit: RTX is adapting a Growler jammer to deliver its non-kinetic effects in land- and sea-based configurations.
  • The update lands in the same operational context as reported Growler jamming-pod teething issues, where fielding of new electronic-attack hardware is already affecting combat employment (source:3e85e3dd-c3c9-4850-b33c-80ef28510c69).
  • For procurement and sustainment planning, it signals that electronic-attack “next-gen” systems may be evolving toward broader multi-domain architectures rather than remaining platform-specific.
