Marotta Controls, a US aerospace and defense contractor, will be supplying technology for two subsystems on the US Navy’s Next Generation Jammer–Low Band (NGJ-LB) program.
The NGJ-LB is an airborne electronic warfare pod developed for the EA-18G Growler, a carrier-based electronic attack and warfare aircraft primarily used by the Navy. The New Jersey-based company announced the two contracts on September 2.
The work includes a subcontract from CFD Research Corporation covering a ram-air turbine power-generation system and a separate direct contract from L3Harris Technologies, the NGJ-LB prime contractor.
A Ram Air Turbine (RAT) power-generation system is a fail-safe emergency system used when an aircraft loses primary power. It keeps the aircraft’s critical functions running during emergencies.
