The first ground-based jammers for Remote Modular Terminals are scheduled to be installed this year after several successful tests. By December 31, the first 11 of the 24 jammers will be deployed in locations that will not be disclosed for security reasons.
The U.S. Space Force emphasizes that the terminals are “small, transportable, and inexpensive satellite jammers that can be deployed in harsh environments to protect” U.S. forces.
The new terminals complement a more extensive jamming system called the Counter Communications System and a medium-sized system called Meadowlands, which the US Space Force has already deployed and is using.
