NAVAL AIR SYSTEMS COMMAND, PATUXENT RIVER, MD – The U.S. Navy declared initial operational capability for the Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band (NGJ-MB) system in December, bringing a quantum leap in capability over legacy systems with drastic increases in power, target flexibility, and jamming technique for naval aviation operations worldwide.
“Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band improves our fleet’s warfighting advantage in the electromagnetic spectrum,” said Rear Adm. John Lemmon, Program Executive Officer for Tactical Aircraft Programs. “This system provides enhanced capabilities to deny, distract, and disorient adversaries’ radars, protecting our naval aviators and allowing them to carry out their missions in contested airspace.”
