About the Aircraft

The E/A-18G Growler is an electronic warfare aircraft operated since 2009 by the United States Navy. Developed based on the F/A-18F Super Hornet, the E/A-18G Growler is mounted with electronic warfare equipment such as AN/ALQ-99 tactical jamming system and ALQ-227 communication jamming system. In addition to a dedicated system officer with the pilot in the tandem cockpit, the EA-18G Growler demonstrates high electronic warfare capability. The EA-18G Growler is also deployed in the U.S. Navy's electronic warfare Squadron VAQ-132 Scorpions, which are regularly deployed to Japan. The VAQ-132 Scorpions attracted attention with distinctive markings on the commander aircraft when deployed in Misawa in 2021.
