Which aircraft serves as a Prowler electronic warfare aircraft?

The EA-6B serves as the Prowler electronic warfare aircraft. This aircraft was specifically designed to conduct electronic warfare missions, which include jamming enemy radar and communication systems, as well as gathering intelligence. The EA-6B is equipped with sophisticated electronic countermeasures that can protect other aircraft by disrupting enemy radar and missiles targeting them, thereby enhancing mission effectiveness and safety.

The other aircraft listed have distinct roles that do not align with the primary functions of the Prowler. For instance, the E-2 is primarily an airborne early warning and control aircraft, designed to detect, track, and manage air traffic in the operational area. The E-6B is a command and control aircraft used mainly for strategic communication and support to the fleet. The F-5N/F is a lightweight fighter intended for air-to-air and air-to-ground missions, lacking the electronic warfare capabilities that define the EA-6B Prowler.
