格鲁曼公司于今年6月交付了最后一架新生产的EA-6B飞机,从而完成了1989财年签订的12架飞机的最后生产合同。美国海军目前尚未提出对更多的新EA-6B的要求,但是它打算通过改装来改进现有130架EA-6B中的105架。据报道说,海军计划让EA-6B服役到2020年。自EA-6B首次使用起已过去了20年,所以届时它将成为历史上最“年长”的作战飞机。EA-6B是美国海军和海军陆战队的一线护航/远距离支援干扰飞机,其性能在“沙漠风暴行动”中赢得很高的声誉。几年前EA-6B具有了在对敌防空进行致命性压制中发射高速反辐射导弹对付敌方雷达的能力,因此其作战能力大大提高。虽然尚不清楚是否还要生产新的EA-6B,但改进计划的工作将继续进行,只不过比想象的速度慢些而已。到目前为止,格鲁曼公司已就改进计划得到近6亿美元的全
Grumman delivered the last new production of the EA-6B aircraft in June this year, completing the final production contract for 12 aircraft in FY1989. The U.S. Navy has yet to ask for more new EA-6Bs, but it plans to retrofit 105 of the existing 130 EA-6Bs. It is reported that the Navy plans to allow EA-6B to serve until 2020. It has been 20 years since the first use of the EA-6B, so it will be the “oldest” combat aircraft in history. The EA-6B is a first-line escort / long-range support jamming aircraft for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, and its performance has earned a high reputation in Operation Desert Storm. A few years ago EA-6B had the capability to launch high-speed anti-radiation missiles to deal with enemy radars in the deadly suppression of enemy air defenses and thus its combat capability was greatly enhanced. Although it is unclear whether new EA-6Bs are yet to be produced, work on improving the program will continue, only slower than expected. To date, Grumman has received nearly $ 600 million in plans to improve
