[PAR] [TLE] Boeing EA-18G Growler [SEP] The Boeing EA-18G Growler is an American carrier-based electronic warfare aircraft, a specialized version of the two-seat F/A-18F Super Hornet.  The EA-18G replaced the Northrop Grumman EA-6B Prowlers in service with the United States Navy.  The Growler's electronic warfare capability is primarily provided by Northrop Grumman.  The EA-18G began production in 2007 and entered operational service with the US Navy in late 2009.  Australia has also purchased twelve EA-18Gs, which entered service with the Royal Australian Air Force in 2017. [PAR] [TLE] AN/APG-79 [SEP] The AN/APG-79 Active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar is a new development for the United States Navy's F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and Boeing EA-18G Growler aircraft, providing a high level of aircrew situational awareness.  The beam of the AESA radar provides nearly instantaneous track updates and multi-target tracking capability.  The APG-79 AESA uses transmit/receive (TR) modules populated with Gallium arsenide Monolithic microwave integrated circuits.  In the F/A-18E/F, the radar is installed in a slide-out nose rack to facilitate maintenance.
