John Meier, commander of Naval Air Force Atlantic, said April 13 during remarks at a virtual event hosted by the Association of Old Crows. \u201cI think that the capabilities inherent in the jamming pod are going to open up a wide, wide array of not only jamming techniques, ranges, effective radiated power, but also taking us into other areas that we\u2019ve never really had the ability to do before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meier was talking about the Next Generation Jammer, the Navy\u2019s \u2014 and by extension, the joint force\u2019s \u2014 premier aerial electronic attack platform to be mounted on EA-18G Growler aircraft. It is broken into three pods covering three portions of the electromagnetic spectrum: mid, low and high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent years, military officials have begun exploring the need for more cyber capabilities within electronic warfare systems, known as radio frequency-enabled cyber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RF-enabled cyber is \u201cbecoming a bigger and bigger component of our cyber operations because more and more of our adversaries are getting smart and putting their systems on to wired networks that are firewalled off or independent from the internet so there\u2019s not as many easy access points when you\u2019re going up against China or Russia as there used to be,\u201d Bryan Clark, a senior fellow and director of the Center for Defense Concepts and Technology at the Hudson Institute, told C4ISRNET. \u201cThey\u2019re moving a lot of their stuff onto wired networks, so what happens is there\u2019s a lot of interest in identifying new and innovative ways to get into opponents\u2019 networks like the radar system that\u2019s being used to feed information into their combat system or an electronic warfare jammer aperture that is normally supposed to be receiving signals to inform their EW system, that might be an access point for cyber effects.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditionally, Clark said, electronic-attack and jamming capabilities were limited to pushing out a signal in the electromagnetic spectrum to deceive an enemy\u2019s radar by either simulating a friendly system in the wrong location, simulating another radar or just blasting so much noise within the spectrum that an adversary\u2019s radar can\u2019t reliably pick up a signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, today\u2019s systems are more digital, meaning electronic attack technology must be able to both jam those systems \u2014 which involves externally impacting radar by blasting out a signal to prevent the detection of friendly assets \u2014 and internally encode software \u2014 which involves moving data through the electromagnetic spectrum to the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/cyber\/2020\/10\/09\/heres-how-the-us-army-is-planning-tactical-cyber-operations\/\" target=_blank>Army has performed experiments in this field and created new tactical cyber units<\/a> to conduct RF-enabled operations on the ground. For example, in training exercises, the service used RF-enabled techniques to gain access to closed-circuit television cameras in cities ahead of a planned operation as a means of providing a commander advanced intelligence of what forces might encounter and the potential location of targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. Cyber Command <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/dod\/2019\/04\/26\/the-new-electronic-warfare-tool-cyber-units-will-need\/\" target=_blank>has also sought<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/dod\/2019\/05\/21\/does-cyber-command-need-more-electronic-warfare-tools\/\" target=_blank>electronic warfare<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/dod\/cybercom\/2019\/08\/30\/cyber-command-is-quiet-about-the-tools-they-need-heres-what-theyve-told-industry\/\" target=_blank>tools<\/a> in recent years to exploit these same avenues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the Navy\u2019s perspective, the Next Generation Jammer will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/electronic-warfare\/2019\/11\/04\/what-makes-the-navys-next-generation-jammer-so-powerful\/\" target=_blank>provide significantly more power, range and tasking ability<\/a> than the legacy ALQ-99 jamming pod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meier lauded the power of the jammer, citing its phased array, digital-frequency jamming, multiple-beam capability and narrower-beams capability, which will allow forces to concentrate power at much greater distances in a more focused manner. This differs from the broader, more \u201cmegaphone\u201d-like jamming of legacy capabilities; in other words, the jammer can better home in on particular targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first increment of the jammer \u2014 the mid-band, which was awarded to Raytheon in 2016 \u2014 is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/electronic-warfare\/2020\/08\/18\/whats-next-for-the-us-navys-future-airborne-jammer\/\" target=_blank>slated for initial operational capability in 2022<\/a>. A Navy spokesperson said while Milestone C \u2014 the decision that will lead to procurement with low-rate initial production \u2014 was planned for early spring, it is rescheduled to late spring 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Low-rate initial production is scheduled to be awarded in early summer 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L3Harris Technologies was awarded the low-band contract <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/electronic-warfare\/2020\/12\/22\/l3harris-scores-award-for-navys-next-generation-jammer\/\" target=_blank>late last
