USAF aircraft fitted with an Angry Kitten ALQ-167 Electronic Warfare Countermeasure Pod

GA-ASI has integrated Georgia Tech Research Institute’s Angry Kitten electronic warfare countermeasure pod onto a United States Air Force (USAF) MQ-9A for the first time.

GA-ASI integrated the EW pod in less than nine months at no cost to the U.S. Air Force by using a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement.

“It was great to see the Angry Kitten Pod on an Air Force platform for the first time,” said GA-ASI Vice President of DoD Strategic Development Patrick Shortsleeve. “Flying this EW capability on an MQ-9A demonstrates its possible use on future aircraft.”

The Air Force plans to continue flying with Angry Kitten Pods over the next 12 to 24 months to develop the best Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) to leverage EW capabilities in support of the Joint Force and partner nations.
