Editing Grumman EA-6B Prowler (section)

===Improved Capability (ICAP) III===
[[Northrop Grumman]] received contracts from the United States Navy to deliver new electronic countermeasures gear to Prowler squadrons; the heart of each ICAP III set consists of the ALQ-218 receiver and new software that provides more precise selective-reactive [[radar jamming and deception]] and threat location. The ICAP III sets also are equipped with the Multifunction Information Distribution System (MIDS), which includes the [[Link 16]] data link system. Northrop delivered two lots and delivered two more beginning in 2010.<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://www.irconnect.com/noc/press/pages/news_releases.html?d=151114 |title=U.S. Navy Awards Northrop Grumman $125 Million Contract to Produce Fourth Lot of Airborne Electronic Attack Systems |publisher=Northrop Grumman |date=29 September 2008}}</ref> The EA-6B Prowlers in service toward the end of its life were the ICAP III version, carrying the ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System.
