Arsenal: EA-6B Prowler and EA-18G Growler in Carrier-Based Electronic Warfare, Vietnam to the 21st Century follows the Navy and Marine Corps electronic attack lineage from the skies over North Vietnam to Desert Storm, Libya, and today’s contested airspace. Listeners hear how these aircraft fought enemy radars and missiles in action, the problem they were built to solve, how designers turned an attack bomber and a strike fighter into jamming platforms, and what life was like for the pilots, electronic warfare officers, and maintainers who kept them flying. The episode traces their combat record, variants, and lasting legacy. Arsenal is the Friday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, and the podcast is developed by Trackpads.com.
