Effective Electronic Warfare range is what I meant.

Look up “growler’ in British slang.I've got a Growler running interference around my compound. Good for riff raff. Not that we get a lot of riff raff anyway, but still. Cant be too careful imo. Man, I'd like to have the money that that plane right there must cost. I'd put it to good use.
To answer the question I have no idea what the range is. Dont know anything about it.

LOL. He doesnt have one of those though.Look up “growler’ in British slang.
Rub one out, now and then, you’ll feel better……LOL. He doesnt have one of those though.
I could sure use some growler around here. Fact.
Anyone know if that is a HARM on the outboard pylon? Been so long...

The middle pods on each wing are ALQ pods, which do all the work. The aircraft is just there to get the pods where they need to be kinda thing.
Looks like. It's not a sidewinder (AIM-9). AMRAAM is about the same size (IIRC) but the mid-body fines seem a little different and I don't know if the EA-18G can even carry an AMRAAM.
I'm thinking HARM.

That is what I was thinking. It has just been 30 years since I was around them, so was not positive. Thanks for the confirmation.AGM-88 HARM
You can tell at a glance by the larger front fins with a kink in them.
it looks like one and it kinda makes sense for an EW bird to carry them.Anyone know if that is a HARM on the outboard pylon? Been so long...

Same here. I can't even remember what some of that stuff looks like anymore. Loaded armaments on F-4's from 86-92.That is what I was thinking. It has just been 30 years since I was around them, so was not positive. Thanks for the confirmation.
Reserves? How many hours did those F-4s have on them?Same here. I can't even remember what some of that stuff looks like anymore. Loaded armaments on F-4's from 86-92.

I did 18's from 87-93, so a year after you.

Was told the planes we had came from Germany and before that Vietnam. My dad called in air strikes to his remote Special Forces camp (67-68?). I could have been loading munitions on the same planes that he called in.

I found this article on next-generation jamming pods for the Growlers. The old EA-6B Growlers had gold-lined canopies to protect the crew from the intense radiation generated by the jamming. I imagine the 18's do as well. Kinda cool.
What will the Navy's new jammer be able to do?
The Navy's new three-part electronic warfare platform will have the ability to prosecute more targets more quickly from further away.www.c4isrnet.com

Yep. I stand corrected.My research has the EA-6 series nicknamed “Prowler.”
My personal experience has them called "those loud, annoying ****ing things". Srsly, they made the snot in your nose vibrate when at high power on deck(painful) , they where stupid long and you could not go under them or behind them safely, so they where always in the way. They just sucked...My research has the EA-6 series nicknamed “Prowler.”
From what I understand, that's an electronic warfare platform, which does jamming and probably anti-radar work.Are these to be held for a future need or are they being deployed currently.
