🛰️🇺🇸 The United States Space Force has tested a new ground-based weapon that can reportedly defend against “space-enabled” attacks. Called the Remote Modular Terminal, the device can jam enemy satellites by flooding the airwaves with competing signals. Once the airwaves are clogged, communication signals being sent to and from the satellite are disrupted. “This event demonstrates the service’s new vision for integrated developmental and operational tests to provide more relevant capabilities to guardians faster,” US Space Force Lt. Col. Gerrit Dalman said. #military #army #technology #militarytech #defensetech #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #us #usspaceforce #guardians #space #satellite #satellites #electronicwarfare
