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.

The Boeing EA-18G Growler is an American carrier-based electronic warfare aircraft, a specialized version of the two-seat Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet. The EA-18G replaced the Northrop Grumman EA-6B Prowlers in service with the United States Navy .

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 tracking...

The mission of The Prowler-Growler Association is to preserve and promote the legacy, history, and accomplishments of the EA-6B Prowler and EA-18G Growler of having provided the Department of Defense continuous Electronic Attack service since 1972.

“The EA-6B Prowler is the primary tactical jamming aircraft of the US Navy, US Air Force and the US Marine Corps.” The ALQ-99 is an extremely comprehensive tactical jammer, operating over a wide range of overlapping frequency bands including Band 1 (VHF) to Band 10 (Ku). The ALQ-99 development was sponsored by the US Navy and Air Force.

2020年1月1日 · 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. The same technology flying on the Prowler is used by the Navy’s new Growler, making them America’s premier airborne electronic attack weapons.

Outfitted with advanced avionics and jamming equipment, the Prowler was designed to protect aerial strike forces by jamming enemy radar and communications. It also performed electronic surveillance and gathered electronic intelligence.
