Jammer

The US is gearing up to deploy new satellite-jamming systems aimed at countering space-based intelligence threats. Dispersed worldwide and sometimes operated remotely, these tools are intended to counter what the US peddles as a growing Chinese space-based threat. The Meadowlands Jammer (L3Harris) was years behind schedule due to technical hiccups. By 2025 it wa in final training, live-fire drills, and mission rehearsals, and expected to go live fiscal year 2026. The Remote Modular Terminal (Northstrat/CACI) was developed by contractors Northstrat Inc. and CACI International Inc. Placed overseas “in identified fielded locations, the exact number and locations of which will not be disclosed” The tools will complement the already operational Counter Communications System jammer, a massive upgraded dish online since 2020. The Space Force is launching a Space Electromagnetic Tactical Operations Center to coordinate jamming missions, using a surveillance system dubbed “Bounty Hunter.” It will track attempts to jam US satellites and pinpoint the positions of adversary spacecraft.
