Which components make up the Onboard Jammer System?

• A. ALQ-99
• B. ALQ-165/214
• C. ALQ-218
• D. ALQ-99, ALQ-165/214, ALQ-218

Answer: (D)

The Onboard Jammer System is a coordinated electronic warfare suite that detects, targets, and suppresses enemy radar. It uses multiple subsystems to cover a wide frequency range and adapt to different threats. The ALQ-99 is the primary broad-band jamming transmitter/assembly that generates the jamming signals. The ALQ-165/214 provides additional jamming capability to extend coverage and power for specific targets or bands. The ALQ-218 acts as the radar signal receiver, detecting emitters and cueing the jammers to where they should focus, while also helping identify threats. Put together, these three components form the complete onboard jammer system on the Growler, so all are part of the package.
