O’Bryan said F-35B can do what??

Did NGJ magic itself into the aircraft without anyone noticing or adding any weight?

Meanwhile in the real world the podded NGJ just got through PDR and should be on track for 2021, with IOC for low-band in 2022 and high-band in 2024. These dates are for the podded system for the Growler. Moving the technology on to F-35 will take a little longer.

None of this prevents F-35 doing clever things with its sense capability or using its radar in the frequencies & aspects it can cover, but this does not make it an EA-6B or a Growler.
