The Grumman EA-6B is a modification of the basic A-6 airframe into a long-range, all-weather, advanced electronic countermeasures platform. It is the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps’s primary electronic warfare platform and has seen action in nearly every conflict since its introduction in 1971. A total of 170 examples were produced and the aircraft is still in active service.
