VAQ-209 has deployed several times, including Operations Northern Watch, Allied Force, Southern Watch and Enduring Freedom
Northrop Grumman EA-6B Prowler
The EA-6B Prowler is an American four-seat twin-engine, long-range, all-weather, carrier-capable, electronic warfare aircraft. It is capable of command-and-control airstrike missions and electronic signals intelligence gathering.
It first flew on May 25, 1968, entering operational service with VAQ-132 in July 1971. They were withdrawn from the US Navy service in June 2015 and the USMC in 2019, replaced by the EA-18G Growler. Production ended in 1991, with 170 airframes built.
Based on the A-6 Intruder, a lengthened forward fuselage allows a crew of four, a pilot and three Electronic Countermeasures Officers (ECMO). A thin gold film over the canopy protects the occupants from emissions produced by the avionics. The top of the vertical stabiliser has an antenna fairing.
It uses two Pratt & Whitney J52 turbojet engines mounted in the fuselage. Armament excludes guns and five external hardpoints that can carry up to 8,200 kg (18,000 lb) of payload.
