Group 1,2 = AGM-88E HARM missiles

The Northrop Grumman EA-6B Prowler is a twin-engine, mid-wing electronic warfare aircraft derived from the A-6 Intruder airframe. An EA-6B aircrew consists of one pilot and three Electronic Countermeasures Officers, though it is not uncommon for only two ECMOs to be used on missions.

The Prowler has been in service with the U.S. Armed Forces since 1971. It has carried out numerous missions for jamming enemy radar systems, and in gathering radio intelligence on those and other enemy air defense systems. Although designed as an electronic warfare and command-and-control aircraft for air strike missions, the EA-6B is also capable of attacking some surface targets on its own, in particular enemy radar sites and surface-to-air missile launchers. As such,it is capable of carrying and firing anti-radiation missiles (ARM), such as the AGM-88 HARM missile.

Sporting the USN VAQ-132 Scorpion Squadron colors, this pretty bird soars through the sky with ease. For this sortie, she has forgone her electronic jamming pods and has equipped two AGM-88E HARM missiles!

This plane is the first from a hyper-realistic replication series I am working on. It was essentially a lesson in XML file manipulation, and I learned a great deal from it. So expect to see incredible details in my coming planes!!

Enjoy!!
