Electronic attack capability will counter new and emerging adversary threats
MCKINNEY, Texas , May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, has been awarded a $580 million follow-on production contract from the U.S. Navy for the Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band (NGJ-MB) system.
Under the contract, Raytheon will provide additional production NGJ-MB pod shipsets, including pods for the Royal Australian Air Force, as well as spares and peculiar support equipment.
"Offensive Electronic Attack provides a tremendous combat capability, protecting strike packages, kinetic weapons and high-value airborne assets across a broad range of missions," said Barbara Borgonovi , president of Naval Power at Raytheon. "With this contract, we'll ensure that our naval aviators in all theaters are better prepared to counter adversary threats and support the Joint Fight."
NGJ-MB is a cooperative development and production program with the Royal Australian Air Force. It is an airborne electronic attack system consisting of two pods containing active electronically scanned arrays that radiate in the mid-band frequency range. The U.S. Navy employs NGJ-MB on the EA-18G Growler to target advanced radar threats, communications, data links and non-traditional radio frequency threats.
Work under this contract will take place in Forest, Mississippi ; McKinney, Texas ; El Segundo, California ; and Andover, Massachusetts through 2028.
