Raytheon has awarded an estimated $4 million contract to CPI Aerostructures to supply structural pod housings for tests and airworthiness certification activities on Raytheon’s new electronic warfare jammer pods.
CPI Aero said Friday it will provide the jammer pod structures through 2018 to aid the engineering and manufacturing development phase of Raytheon’s Next Generation Jammer program with the U.S. Navy.
Raytheon secured a $1.01 billion contract from the Navy in April to provide NGJ systems that will replace ALQ-99 jammers on the service branch’s fleet of Boeing-built EA-18G Growler aircraft.
The Navy aims to install two NGJ Increment 1 pods on each of its 138 EA-18G electronic warfare aircraft during the program’s production phase, CPI Aero noted.
