Book excerpt: The need for Electronic Warfare aircraft developed after WWII with the rapid development and proliferation of sophisticated guided weapons.

Book Synopsis Options for an EA-6B Replacement by :
Download or read book Options for an EA-6B Replacement written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to maintain electromagnetic superiority is important enough that the Marine Corps maintains Electronic Warfare as one of its six functions of Marine Aviation. The EA-6B Prowler is the only aircraft the Marine Corps has that is capable of fulfilling this mission. With the Prowler nearing the end of its projected service life and no follow-on platform having been identified, the Marine Corps will lose a valuable aviation capability with the demise of the Prowler. With the decision by the Air Force to retire the EF-111 Raven in 1996, the Prowler now has the distinction of being the only tactical radar jamming aircraft in the United States' inventory. The Air Force gave the entire responsibility of airborne electronic attack (EA) to the Navy and Marine Corps when that decision was made. Having this distinction bestowed on a 1970s vintage aircraft that is no longer in production, the Pentagon's Joint Staff has placed the EA-6B on a list of specialized military resources that are considered to be "low density, high-demand" (LD/HD) assets. The Department of the Navy currently maintains a total of 122 EA-6Bs. Of these 122 aircraft, the Marine Corps operates approximately 20 Prowlers in four Fixed Wing Tactical Electronic Warfare squadrons. Current Navy plans call for the EA-6Bs to last until 2015, but recent DoD estimates indicate that the inventory will reach critical shortages as early as 2009 due to aging airframes and attrition. To address the predicted shortfall of EW assets beyond 2010, the Navy is considering replacing its Prowlers with the EW variant of the Super Hornet (F/A-18E/F) known as the EA-18 Growler. The Marine Corps, however, is reluctant to pursue a non-STOVL capable aircraft and has not identified a follow-on platform to replace the fleet of aging EA-6Bs. A study was funded in FY2001 known as the Electronic Attack Analysis of Alternatives (AOA). The AOA identified 27 different EA platforms as possible replacements for the Prowler.
Book Synopsis On Yankee Station by : John B. Nichols
Download or read book On Yankee Station written by John B. Nichols and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2013-03-11 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining vivid personal narrative with historical and operational analyses, this book takes a candid look at U.S. naval airpower in the Vietnam War. Coauthors John Nichols, a fighter pilot in the war, and Barrett Tillman, an award-winning aviation historian, make full use of their extensive knowledge of the subject to detail the ways in which airpower was employed in the years prior to the fall of Saigon. Confronting the conventional belief that airpower failed in Vietnam, they show that when applied correctly, airpower was effective, but because it was often misunderstood and misapplied, the end results were catastrophic. Their book offers a compelling view of what it was like to fly from Yankee Station between 1964 and 1973 and important lessons for future conflicts. At the same time, it adds important facts to the permanent war record. Following an analysis of the state of carrier aviation in 1964 and a definition of the rules of engagement, it describes the tactics used in strike warfare, the airborne and surface threats, electronic countermeasures, and search and rescue. It also examines the influence of political decisions on the conduct of the war and the changing nature of the Communist opposition. Appendixes provide useful statistical data on carrier deployments, combat sorties, and aircraft losses.
Download or read book Ironclaw written by Sherman Baldwin and published by . This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Fast-paced, exciting and informative, with a realism and authenticity that this old carrier aviator has not seen in a long, long time." Admiral J. L. Holloway III, USN (Ret.), Chief of Naval Operations, 1974-78 A fine Tom Clancy-style account...From the start, the reader is in the cockpit. Kirkus Reviews The book that straps you into the cockpit of one of the world's most exhilarating and dangerous occupations. Slammed back into his ejection seat, catapulting from the heaving aircraft-carrier at 150 miles per hour in two seconds, he plunges into the darkness above the black waves. He is a rookie pilot on his first flight off the deck of the famed USS Midway, a "nugget" strapped in the electronics-crammed cockpit of one of the world's most expensive, sophisticated - and powerful - military machines. He is a member of the elite EA-6B Prowler squadron - call sign Ironclaw. And for Sherman Baldwin, a Yale grad turned navy carrier pilot on the eve of the Gulf War, the adventure has just begun. Here is the real world of military aviation - a world far more exciting than the depiction in bestselling novels and popular Hollywood films. Baldwin records in white-knuckled prose what it's really like to make the grade as a navy carrier pilot: the high-stakes, high-pressure world of piloting multimillion-dollar aircraft, precision flying through enemy fire over hostile territory, and zero-tolerance aircraft landings in the dead of night, when one miscalculation could result in a fatal crash. He also offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the humor and camaraderie that bind these special individuals together, characters with nicknames like "Beast," "Chief Rat," and "Simba." From the mission-planning room to chaotic action of the carrier deck to emergency midair refuelings and the outbreak of the Gulf War, Baldwin captures the G forces of the world's steepest and most dangerous learning curve.
Book Synopsis Naval Air War: The Rolling Thunder Campaign by : Norman Polmar
Download or read book Naval Air War: The Rolling Thunder Campaign written by Norman Polmar and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the sixth monograph in the series The U.S. Navy and the Vietnam War. It covers aircraft carrier activity during Operation Rolling Thunder in the war. Operation Rolling Thunder was one of the longest sustained aerial bombing campaigns in history. And it would be a failure. The U.S. Navy proved essential to the conduct of Rolling Thunder. Exploiting the inherent flexibility and mobility of naval forces, the Seventh Fleet operated with impunity for three years off the coast of North Vietnam. The success with which the Navy executed the later Operation Linebacker campaign against North Vietnam in 1972 revealed how much the service had learned from and exploited the Rolling Thunder experience of 1965–1968. The book includes several photographs with backgrounds of key aircraft used as part of Operation Rolliing Thunder during the Vietnam War.

Download or read book Cease Buzzer! written by J P Springett and published by . This book was released on 2023-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deny, Degrade, Deceive, and Destroy," these are the objectives of the crews that flew the EA-6B "Prowler." The thirty-six-year stretch between the release of the first "Top Gun" movie in 1986, and its sequel in 2022 was an exceptionally busy period for Naval Aviation. The public knows that Navy fighter pilots flew hundreds of thousands of combat sorties and employed millions of pounds of ordnance on enemy targets in the Middle East and elsewhere. What most will not be familiar with are the extensive operations of the EA-6B community during this period and the fact that no Navy fighter went into harm's way without dedicated Electronic Warfare support. Our job as EA-6B crews was not to make it into the movies. The EA-6B "Prowler" was a very capable Electronic Warfare aircraft flown by both the Navy and the Marine Corps that was designed to "Deny, Degrade, Deceive, or Destroy" the enemy air defense systems that were used to target American, allied, and partner forces. When it came to protecting these strike missions, the aircrew of the EA-6B employed a very capable jamming system that kept our adversaries from responding effectively. When you saw footage of a strike mission on TV, we were there too, but we operated in the background so that our fighter and bomber crews could get to the target, drop their ordnance and return safely. As the Global War on Terror became an extended period of counter-insurgency operations, the EA-6B community discovered a new role. All of the Navy's carrier-based Prowler squadrons supported the troops from the sea. However, some of us left the carrier and, along with the Marine Corps, began to operate our expeditionary squadrons from air bases across Iraq and Afghanistan. In this role, we utilized a wide range of capabilities that interfered with our adversary's ability to target our troops. While this new obligation meant that the small EA-6B community was stretched to its limit, it was done without complaint. We were saving lives and ensuring that more of the young Americans that had volunteered to serve their nation could return when their job was done. This memoir isn't just about flying the EA-6B. The stories begin as I enter flight training and include descriptions of life on the carrier, humorous port visits, training detachments, exercises with the other services, and lots of wonderful experiences on liberty. In addition, the book provides accounts of combat actions over Serbia, Kosovo, and Iraq, and includes a unique perspective of land-based EA-6B combat support in Afghanistan "Cease Buzzer!" is the author's attempt to capture some of his best Naval Aviation "sea stories" before they all fade away.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The controversial New York Times bestseller that tells the "engrossing account of the military operation that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden." —Kirkus Reviews (starred) On May 2, 2011, at 1:03 a.m. a satellite uplink was sent from Pakistan crackling into the situation room of the White House: "Geronimo, Echo, KIA."
