The Northrop Grumman (formerly Grumman) EA-6B Prowler is a twin-engine, four-seat, mid-wing electronic-warfare aircraft. Operated by both the United States Marine Corps and United States Navy between 1971 and 2019, it was derived from the A-6 Intruder airframe.

But Northrop Grumman’s EA-6B Prowler was an attack aircrew’s best friend, jamming enemy communications, gathering intelligence, and attacking enemy radar sites with its AGM-88 HARM...

Since the Vietnam war, the EA-6B Prowler has been the U.S. Navy’s primary carrier-based electronic warfare aircraft, jamming enemy radars and providing an umbrella of protection for enemy...

2019年3月8日 · This drone electronic war capability by no means replaces the Prowler, but it does afford grunts at lower echelons of the tactical level the ability to self-deploy electronic attack...

2019年12月1日 · The EA-6B Prowler has officially been retired from service by the Marine Corps, the last operator of the type. “Prowler Sundown” has been creeping slowly closer ever since the U.S. Navy retired the aircraft back in July of 2015.

2020年1月1日 · Equipped with Northrop Grumman’s state-of-the-art electronic attack system, it devours enemy electronic signals and spits them out for breakfast. By identifying and selectively targeting electronic transmissions across a battlefield, the EA-6B Prowler can monitor and jam signals as needed leaving enemy combatants scratching their heads.

To protect the US Navy’s strike aircraft and surface ships from these electronic threats, Grumman converted their successful A-6 Intruder attack bomber into a dedicated Electronics Countermeasures (ECM) aircraft called the EA-6B Prowler.

The U.S. Marine Corps on March 8th 2019 retired the Northrop Grumman EA-6B twin engine heavy electronic warfare jet after 48 years in service - with the aircraft having first been deployed during the Vietnam War in 1971.

2018年2月26日 · The diversity of radars and integrated weapons coverage made defense suppression support essential to any tactical strike mission. The EA-6B Prowler marked the U.S. Navy’s recognition that modern air defense systems could not be defeated by evasive approach tactics and kinetic strikes alone.

The Grumman EA-6B Prowler is a twin-engined four-seat carrier-capable electronic warfare jet aircraft produced by the US-American manufacturer Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, later Grumman Aerospace Corporation.
