EA
Electronic Attack (EA) involves using electromagnetic energy to disrupt, deny, or deceive enemy electronic systems, such as radars, communications, and navigation aids, to impair their ability to operate effectively. Its purpose is to degrade or neutralize enemy combat capabilities.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Electronic Attack (EA) is a critical component of Electronic Warfare (EW) focused on employing electromagnetic (EM) energy, directed energy (DE), or anti-radiation weapons to degrade, neutralize, or destroy enemy combat capabilities by targeting personnel, facilities, or equipment, often through jamming, deception, or disruption of radar, communication, and navigation systems across the electromagnetic spectrum.
BACKGROUND
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. The Growler's electronic warfare capability is primarily provided by Northrop Grumman. The EA-18G began production in 2007 and entered operational service with the US Navy in late 2009. Australia has also purchased thirteen EA-18Gs, which entered service with the Royal Australian Air Force in 2017.
