How digital twins can impact naval aviation 

Naval Air Systems Command’s Airborne Electronic Attack Systems Program Office (PMA-234) is turning to digital technology to improve readiness, explore new capabilities and expedite training.   

PMA-234 is in the early stages of using digital twins, which are virtual models designed to reflect a physical object accurately. PMA-234 has developed digital twin technology with an industry partner for the past six months.  

ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System

The ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System is an external carriage airborne electronic attack capability for the EA-18G Growler used against radar and communications targets for the suppression of enemy Integrated Air Defenses. Each jammer pod contains a ram air turbine generator, two selectable transmitter modules with associated antennas and a universal exciter that is interfaced with, and controlled by, the onboard system and aircrew.  The modular open architecture of the jammer system facilitates optimization of transmitters and antennas for a given frequency range and can be tailored to meet mission requirements.
