Explore the history and capabilities of the E6B Prowler, a US Navy aircraft developed from Grumman’s A6 Intruder attack aircraft in the mid-1970s. The primary role of the Prowler was to protect Navy ships and aircraft by jamming enemy radar and communications, with capabilities for electronic surveillance and suppression of enemy air defenses. Despite not carrying any guns, the Prowler was equipped with up to four ALQ 99 Jam pods, making it a formidable presence in the air for nearly 50 years, seeing action in various conflicts including Vietnam, Desert Storm, and recent engagements in Syria.Welcome to The Aviation Channel – where the sky’s the limit!
