NewsJune 03, 2025
PHOENIX, Arizona. L3Harris Technologies chose Honeywell to support development of the U.S. Navy’s Next Generation Jammer Low Band (NGJ-LB) system for the EA-18G Growler aircraft, Honeywell announced in a statement.
Honeywell will contribute electronic warfare hardware from its Lansdale, Pennsylvania facility as part of a larger $587.4 million engineering and manufacturing development contract awarded to L3Harris by the Navy, the statement reads. The NGJ-LB system is intended to augment and eventually replace the ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System, providing improved capabilities to disrupt and degrade enemy communications and air defenses.
The NGJ-LB uses software-driven architecture and active electronically scanned array (AESA) technology to address low-frequency electromagnetic threats with greater coverage and effectiveness, the company says.
