EA-18G "Growler"

 

but i have no idea how is the loadout of it

I am up at Whidbey with the only production variant of the EF-18G right now. According to the last death by power point briefing that I sat through for Maintenance personnel the suggested armament loadouts are going to be as follows:

 

SEAD:

2x AGM-88E AARM on stations 1 and 9

3x ALQ-99 ECM Pods on stations 2,5 (Centerline),8

2x Drop tanks on stations 3 and 7

1x AIM-120C on station 6 (the station under the right hand cheek)

1x ATFLIR on station 4 (on the left hand cheek)

 

Long Range-SEAD

3x ALQ-99 ECM Pods on 2,5,8

4xDrop tanks on stations 1,3,7,9

1x ATFLIR on station 4

 

or

 

2x ALQ-99 ECM Pods on 2,8

5xDrop tanks on 1,3,5,7,9

1x ATFLIR station 4

 

Possible Iron Hand Variants

1x AGM-88E on Station 1

3xALQ-99 ECM on stations 2,5,8

1x AIM-120C on Station 6

1xATFLIR on Station 4

1x JSOW (Cluster bomb variant) on station 9 or 1xAGM-65 or 1xJDAM

2x Drop tanks on stations 3 and 7

 

Most of the Iron Hand are ones guesses by even the Command staff at the Tactical Electronic Attack Wing.

 

The first squadron that is supposed to cruise with them is going to be VAQ-141. So I would take a scheme that VAQ-141 has done in the past and use that as a "what-if" design. The squadron isn't supposed to make the conversion and be ready to deploy until late 2010.
