Australia has announced a programme to upgrade the capabilities of its Boeing EA-18G Growler fleet.

The Australian Department of Defence (DoD) had not responded to a request for comment about the programme at the time of publication. However, in an announcement on 6 February, the Australian government said that the upgrades would comprise the acquisition of new longer-range and advanced anti-radiation missiles, modifications to the EA-18G's sensors, and infrastructural upgrades at the Royal Australian Air Force's (RAAF's) airbase at Amberley and at the Delamere Air Training Area in the Northern Territory.

The upgrades also include the planned integration of the Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) weapon system on the EA-18G fleet.
