 BOEING™ EA-18G GROWLER™
ELECTRONIC ATTACK AIRCRAFT

In modern wars, electronic warfare has become as important as firepower strikes. In 1971, the U.S. Navy
began to use the EA-6B Prowler electronic warfare aircraft to suppress enemy radar systems and obtain
enemy electronic intelligence, and to support the attack fleet and ground forces on its own side.

To replace the EA-6B Prowler, the U.S. Navy needed a new-generation electronic warfare aircraft. The
Boeing Company seized the opportunity and worked with Northrop Grumman to develop the EA-18G
Growler electronic attack aircraft, a derivative of the F/A-18F. The aircraft’s prototype made test flights in
2002 and the first test aircraft made its maiden flight in August 2006. The EA-18G Growler entered opera-
tional service on September 22, 2009-

The EA-18G Growler is equipped with advanced electronic equipment such as Multi-Mission Advanced
Tactical Terminal (MATT), Multifunctional Information Distribution System (M1DS) and Link-16. It’s
capable of carrying out comprehensive electronic countermeasures and precision electromagnetic
attacks, and destroying enemy targets with weapons.

With the Northrop Grumman ALQ-218(V)2 tactical receivers , new ALQ-99 tactical electronic jamming
pods and multiple electronic warfare units in the fuselage, the EA-18G Growler can suppress enemy early
waming/search radars by performing all-band jamming. During the jamming process, the EA-18G Growler
can continue to monitor enemy’s electronic communication signals. In addition, its interference cancella-
tion system restores communications on the EA-18G while the electronic jammer is on.

The EA-18G Growler can work with other platforms like airborne early warning and control aircraft and
unmanned aerial vehicles to locate targets and guide attacks. They can conduct multi-target monitoring,
jamming and deception on enemy communications facilities. After identification and positioning of
enemy high-value targets, the attacks will be carried out immediately.

The EA-18G Growler can not only conduct a comprehensive electromagnetic suppression of the enemy's
air and ground early warning/search radars in the war zone, but also use AGM-88 HARM high-speed
anti-radiation missiles and other standoff precision-guided weapons to destroy or damage enemy tactical
target like ground-based air defense radars. It’s also capable of using AIM-120 air-to-air missiles for air
combats.

The EA-18G Growler has 90% commonality with the F/A-18F, and the two aircraft have almost the same
maneuverability. It can carry and launch a variety of air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons, making it capa-
ble of carrying out combat missions like electronic countermeasures, ground support and combat fleet
escort.
