The Prowler is an AWESOME asset. Slogan - “Just Jam It!!”

The Prowler and its electronic warfare system is so valuable it has never been exported – even to close allies.
Bubba didn't give this to the Chinese? Well, his Beast will make up for that mistake if "she" gets elected.

MI/OPSEC PING.

That is, if anyone under age 40 knows what OPSEC means, anymore...

by jamming ground signals from mobile phones

Is there a smaller version of this device that could be carried into a movie theater or restaurant? :)

The Prowler is living proof that an aircraft does not have to be a stealthy, super high tech (and mega $$) aircraft like the Raptor to perform brilliantly.

The Navy is going in the wrong direction entirely by trying to replace this aircraft with a version of the Hornet. Crew will be reduced by 50% and the process will have to be automated considerably to accomodate the loss of crew.

How about installing the prowler type equipment into all Military ground vehicles?

Too big? Miniaturize. Too expensive? Too expensive as compared to what? Our soldier’s lives?

Just do it!

Thanks for posting this. I was too busy and didn’t get a chance to do it yesterday.

My former son in law works on those planes at Whidbey Island. He is doing his job right now on the Nimitz. Godspeed, Josh.

I was at Oak Harbor when the crew returned after the confrontation with Wrong Way Huai (sp?).

OPSEC is dead and so will be a few US forces because of it.

Hey, weren't some fine young "American" men going around and buying massive amounts of cell phones, just a while back?

Good thing "Homeland Security" let them off "Scott (I mean, Shiite, or was that Suni?) free!"

Lots of real old technology. Advantage is the number and power level of jammers.

Note the off-the-shelf AOR AR-3000 police scanner stuck in a hole in the rear electronic warfare panel:

The Prowler is nothing compared to this beauty:

But then, I'm partial to the F-111 since that was the aircraft I worked on in the Air Force. It was a shame to retire those Spark Varks.

And it will burn a Sherriff’s patrol car to the ground with electronic warfare only :)

Part of our mission in West Germany was to jam our arty units during training exercises. We’d let them get near the end of their end-of-day reports and then jam the last few lines. Used to drive them nuts, especially at 3 A.M.

The cure for IEDs. Apply liberally to all sand monkey-infected
areas of the world.
