Boeing Co,
ST. LOUIS: Boeing is installing the first radio frequency (RF) cables in the EA-1 aircraft as it continues production of the first two EA-18G flight test aircraft, EA-1 & EA-2.
RF cabling is essential in connecting the specialized avionics required to perform the airborne electronic attack mission of the EA-18G. When completed, each aircraft will have more than 2,500 feet of RF cabling, about five times the amount installed in the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, which shares a common airframe with the EA-18G.
