About this program
The Tactical Jamming System (EA-6B) is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) managed by the Department of Defense under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway. The program supports the EA-6B aircraft, which serves as an electronic warfare platform for tactical jamming operations. The scope encompasses both hardware components for the aircraft's electronic warfare systems and engineering support services for maintaining and upgrading these capabilities.
Contract awards under this program range from small purchases of specific components (under $10,000) to major system acquisitions exceeding $5 million, with typical contract periods spanning 6 months to 2 years. Primary products procured include electronic warfare components such as transmitters, circuit card assemblies, waveguide assemblies, and power supply units. Services predominantly focus on engineering support, flight simulation, and program management. The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) serves as the primary contracting authority, with most contracts being firm-fixed-price arrangements. While the majority of contracts have no set-aside designation, occasional small business and HUBZone set-asides are utilized. Notable contractors include Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation Mission Systems Division, which received significant awards for engineering services. Contract performance locations include various naval facilities, with substantial work performed in Pennsylvania for major system components.
