The Navy’s EA-18G Growler Will Soon Be Armed with What Could Be the Ultimate 'Weapon'
 
Eugene K. Chow [2]

The U.S. Navy’s EA-18G Growler will soon have artificial intelligence on board to give its electronic warfare capabilities a much needed boost.

Last week, the Navy awarded [3] a $7.3 million contract to Northrop Grumman to develop machine-learning algorithms that can quickly identify and jam enemy radar signals.

The U.S. military’s electronic warfare (EW) capabilities are currently lagging behind near-peer adversaries like Russia.
