 The EA-6B Prowler is
a twin-engine, mid-wing aircraft manufactured by Grumman Aerospace Corporation
as a modification of the basic A-6 Intruder air frame. Designed for
carrier and advanced base operations, the Prowler is a fully integrated
electronic warfare system combining long-range, all-weather capabilities
with advanced electronic countermeasures. A forward equipment bay, and
pod-shaped faring on the vertical fin, house the additional avionics
equipment. The side-by-side cockpit arrangement gives maximum efficiency,
visibility and comfort. The primary mission of the aircraft is to support
air strikes and ground troops by interrupting enemy electronic activity.
