The Growler protects our warfighters. Now Congress can protect the Growler.
The EA-18G Growler is America’s only electronic attack aircraft in production. By disabling enemy defense systems, it ensures America’s combat aircraft can perform their missions safely. But now, it’s the Growler that’s in danger. Without any funding for new Growlers in the current budget, the production line will close at the end of 2016, leaving the U.S. Navy without future Growlers. Closing the line would also affect nearly 60,000 jobs around the country and leave the military without competing sources for additional fighter aircraft. The time to act is now, to make certain that our fighting force has the Growlers they need to fly safe and sure. On behalf of America’s servicemen and women, we urge Congress to include funding for Growlers in the 2015 budget. It’s an invaluable investment in the strength of our nation’s air power and industrial resource.
