Until now, radar- and communications-jamming equipment has been relegated to slow-moving aircraft that can’t keep up with the fighter planes they’re supporting. The supersonic Growler replaces the 36-year-old EA-6B Prowler electronic-warfare jet, adding state-of-the-art radar-jamming systems in pods on the outside of the aircraft, a radar-targeting system for guiding the jet’s own missiles to enemy installations, and communications hardware. An interference-cancellation system lets Growler crews communicate over ultra-high-frequency radio without interrupting jamming operations. That means radio silence for them, not us. boeing.com
