Boeing has rolled out its first EA-18G Growler on time and within budget, according to the company. Boeing presented the aircraft to a crowd of more than 750 U.S. Navy customers, industry partners and Boeing employees during a ceremony Aug. 4 at its Integrated Defense Systems facilities in St. Louis, Mo. Navy Admiral Michael G. Mullen, chief of Naval Operations and guest speaker at the ceremony, said the Growler is “a model of what a strong strategic relationship between the Navy and industry can do. It represents acquisition excellence at its finest.” The U.S. Navy selected the EA-18G to replace the current AEA platform, the EA-6B Prowler, which has been in service since 1971. Boeing received the EA-18G Systems Development and Demonstration phase contract on Dec. 29, 2003. The aircraft’s first flight is planned for later this month, several weeks ahead of the originally scheduled date, Boeing said. EA-18G flight testing will take place at the Navy’s Patuxent, Md., and China Lake, Calif., test sites through 2008.
