The EA-18G Growler is an airborne electronic attack (AEA) aircraft that operates from either an aircraft carrier or from land-bases. The Growler has been developed as a replacement for the US Navy EA-6B Prowler aircraft which entered service in 1971 and is approaching the end of operational life.
The E/A-18G is the fourth major variant of the F/A-18 family of aircraft. The EA-18G have the capability to operate autonomously or as a significant node in a network-centric operation and will give accurate emitter targeting for employment of onboard suppression weapons like|like the High-Speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM).
The EA-18 can perform full-spectrum electronic surveillance and electronic attack of enemy threat radars and communications nets. The EA-18 leverages the U.S. Navy's investment in the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet platform. the EA-18 is highly versatile design that allows the warfighter to perform a broad range of tactical missions.
