Electronic Warfare: Radar Jammer Proliferation Continues

Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Feb. 28, 1992
Report No. NSIAD-92-83
Subject
Summary:

The Air Force and the Navy continue to develop separate jammer systems--electronic devices that protect tactical aircraft by interfering with the radar systems of enemy weapons--instead of building a less-costly joint system. The services have been urged repeatedly to develop jammers that can be used by more than one service to meet the common air defense threat, thereby avoiding duplicative costs for system development, enabling lower unit production costs through larger quantity buys, and simplifying logistical support while lowering costs. The military services, however, continue to acquire many different jammer systems to protect the same type of aircraft against a common threat, and no commonality has been achieved. Furthermore, the prospects for commonality are bleak because the Air Force has abandoned the only program having promise for commonality. The proliferation continues in part because of ineffective DOD oversight.
