Raytheon confirmed on April 22 that the RAAF has taken delivery of ALQ-249 Next Generation Jammer \u2014 Mid Band (NGJ-MB) pods for its fleet of EA-18G Growlers, replacing the Vietnam-era AN\/ALQ-99 system that has been the backbone of Western airborne electronic attack for over five decades.\n\nThe first shipsets arrived ahead of schedule in September 2025. Photos of an Australian Growler carrying the new pods surfaced in December, and deliveries have continued through 2026. Australia&#8217;s initial buy covers eight shipsets \u2014 two pods per aircraft.\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#f4f4f4;border-left:4px solid #333;padding:18px 22px;margin:18px 0 28px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;font-size:17px\">Quick Facts<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:20px;line-height:1.8\">\n<li><strong>System:<\/strong> ALQ-249 Next Generation Jammer \u2014 Mid Band (NGJ-MB)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Replaces:<\/strong> AN\/ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System (in service since 1971)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Platform:<\/strong> EA-18G Growler<\/li>\n<li><strong>Operator:<\/strong> Royal Australian Air Force (No. 6 Squadron)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Initial buy:<\/strong> 8 shipsets (16 pods)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Key tech:<\/strong> AESA arrays, fully digital backend, software-defined architecture<\/li>\n<li><strong>Manufacturer:<\/strong> Raytheon (RTX)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">From Analogue to Digital Warfare<\/h2>\n\nThe AN\/ALQ-99 was designed in the late 1960s and first flew on the EA-6B Prowler. Its analogue architecture was state-of-the-art when Apollo astronauts were walking on the moon. Fifty-five years later, it was still strapped to Growlers \u2014 the electronic warfare equivalent of running a modern air force on vacuum tubes.\n\nThe NGJ-MB changes everything. Its active electronically scanned array (AESA) antennas can shape, steer, and switch jamming beams in microseconds. The fully digital backend allows operators to reprogram the system in flight, adapting to new threats without hardware changes. Where the ALQ-99 was a broadband noise generator, the NGJ-MB is a precision instrument \u2014 capable of targeting individual radar emitters while leaving friendly communications untouched.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=1558492329  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/a\/a9\/VAQ-209_EA-18G_at_the_Air_Dominance_Center.jpg\/960px-VAQ-209_EA-18G_at_the_Air_Dominance_Center.jpg\" alt=\"EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">An EA-18G Growler \u2014 the only dedicated electronic attack aircraft in Western service. Australia operates 11 Growlers alongside the US Navy. (Wikimedia Commons)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Why Australia Matters<\/h2>\n\nAustralia is not just a customer \u2014 it&#8217;s a development partner. The RAAF has been cooperating with the US Navy on NGJ since 2017, contributing to both the Mid-Band and Low-Band variants. That partnership gives Canberra early access to technology that most US allies will wait years to receive.\n\nAustralia operates 11 EA-18G Growlers, making it the only country besides the United States to fly the type. In a potential conflict in the Indo-Pacific, those Growlers would be expected to suppress Chinese air defences alongside American strike packages \u2014 a mission that demands the latest jamming technology, not Cold War leftovers.\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Beyond the Growler<\/h2>\n\nRaytheon isn&#8217;t stopping at airborne jamming. RTX recently announced it has repackaged the NGJ technology for land and sea platforms, creating ground-based and shipborne variants that use the same software-defined architecture. The implication is a unified electronic warfare ecosystem where a destroyer, a ground station, and a Growler can coordinate jamming across the electromagnetic spectrum.\n\nFor Australia&#8217;s integrated defence force \u2014 which operates Hobart-class destroyers, Hunter-class frigates, and Growlers \u2014 that kind of cross-domain electronic warfare capability could be transformative.\n\nThe ALQ-99&#8217;s retirement is long overdue. Its replacement arrives not a moment too soon.\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:28px\"><em>Sources: The Aviationist, The Defense Post, FlightGlobal, Breaking Defense, Janes<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Royal Australian Air Force just received the most advanced electronic warfare system ever mounted on a fighter jet.
