It replaced the Northrop Grumman EA-6B Prowler in United States Navy service, with Northrop Grumman acting as principal airframe subcontractor and supplying the main electronic combat system. The Navy awarded the development contract in December 2003, the first test aircraft made its maiden flight on 15 August 2006 and production began in 2007. The Growler entered operational service with the Navy in late 2009, after full-rate production was approved on 23 November 2009.
