The US Space Force is set to deploy a new ground-based electronic warfare system designed to counter Chinese and Russian satellites. This system aims to prevent these satellites from transmitting information about American military actions during potential conflicts. The first 11 satellite-jamming devices will be deployed in the coming months, with a total of 24 systems expected to be operational by the end of 2024. The deployment of these systems, which use commercial off-the-shelf components, marks a significant step in enhancing the US's electronic warfare capabilities.
