The Boeing EA-18G Growler is an American carrier-based electronic warfare aircraft a specialized version of the two-seat F/A-18F Super Hornet. The EA-18G will replace the Northrop Grumman EA-6B Prowlers in service with the United States Navy. The Growler's electronic warfare capability is primarily provided by Northrop Grumman. The EA-18G began production in 2007 and entered operational service in late 2009.

In service the EA-18's radio name during flight operations will be "Grizzly". The "Growler" nickname sounded too much like the EA-6B's "Prowler" name so "Grizzly" will be used to avoid confusion. With the termination of the EB-52H standoff jammer the Growler will become the sole remaining manned tactical jammer and Air Staff requirements director Maj. Gen. David Scott has indicated that the USAF will seek to provide electronic warfare officers to fly on US Navy Growlers without providing funding to purchase additional aircraft. By May 2011 48 Growlers had been delivered to the U.S. Navy.
