Abstract

The article focuses on the strategies of the U.S. Navy to introduce new payload for the EA-18G Growler electronic-attack aircraft, as of August 2015. It states that the decision has been impacted by lessons from airstrikes in Syria and Libya, and mentions the installation of an advanced targeting forward-looking infrared (ATFLIR) system in the aircraft. It notes the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) EA-18G aircraft by Boeing, which is supposedly similar to the Navy aircraft.
