Abstract:

I am pleased to be here today to discuss our review of the Navy's Airborne Self-Protection Jammer (ASPJ) program. ASPJ is an electronic warfare jammer intended to protect the Navy's F-14D and F/A-18 aircraft from threat weapons. It accomplishes this by transmitting electronic signals that interfere with the radars used to control threat missiles and guns.
