The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), which administers the effort to build the new jammer pod, says the system will transform how the service executes its airborne electronic attack mission.
Raytheon expressed its delight at being selected for the contract, but offered little in the way of details.
Raytheon was picked for the TD phase after a 33-month technology maturation period in which four contractors developed and matured "several critical technologies" key to the NGJ programme. Originally, the USN had hoped to award two TD contracts, but those plans appear to have been scrapped in favour of a single contractor.
