The newest branch of the American military is reportedly developing a suite of ground weapons that can jam satellite signals during orbital conflict.
"Nothing else we're doing in Space Force is offensive in nature, where we are actually going after an adversary," Lt. Brogan said, adding that four newer models are projected to be delivered in October 2022. They will have the ability to jam more frequencies and will be lighter in weight, he said.the ground-based jamming weapons are made to be used early in conflict and said the interference they produce is both"reversible" and temporary.
It elaborated in a research paper:"Chinese and Russian space surveillance networks are capable of searching, tracking, and characterizing satellites in all earth orbits.systems. Both states [have] jamming and cyberspace capabilities, directed energy weapons, on orbit capabilities and ground-based anti satellite missiles that can achieve a range of reversible to non-reversible effects."
Gen. John W. Raymond, U.S. Space Force Chief of Space Operations, said it was"proof of Russia's hypocritical advocacy of outer space arms control proposals designed to restrict the capabilities of the U.S. while clearly having no intention of halting their counter-space weapons programs."
