Communications from Russia or China Are Disrupted by Satellite Jammers

The US Space Force will install 24 satellite jammers capable of disrupting Russian or Chinese communications


July 23, 2024

War. War never changes: thanks to the military-industrial complex, the technology of war will continue to escalate no matter how the world situation changes. Russia is reportedly developing a high-altitude nuclear device that uses electromagnetic pulses to permanently and indiscriminately disrupt enemy communications. Meanwhile, the United States has just announced a weapon with similar purposes but without the chaotic and irreversible consequences.

The US military is installing modular advanced satellite signal jammer capable of disrupting Russian or Chinese communications if necessary. Although the hardware is terrestrial, the US Space Force will oversee the installation and operation. The technology has already completed prototyping. Earlier this year, the military tested the system at two different locations. The Department of Defense has allocated funds to build 24 remote facilities, 11 of which are scheduled to be deployed by the end of the year.

This equipment is not a preventive measure to prevent adversaries from disrupting US communications. Quite the opposite.

"[The terminals] are small, mobile, and low-cost SATCOM portable jammers that can be deployed in austere environments to protect [U.S. forces]," a spokesperson for the U.S. Space Force's Rapid Capabilities Office told Bloomberg. "[The jammer gps will be used] to responsibly counter an adversary's SATCOM capabilities to launch an attack."

"We intentionally designed a small, modular system using commercial off-the-shelf components. This provides the ability to be proliferated, remotely controlled, and relatively relocatable," the Space Force said.

Why it matters:

  1. This proves once again that when it comes to electronic warfare involving space assets, no signal is secure.
  2. This makes it pretty clear to you that at least China and Russia, and possibly Iran and North Korea, as well as other nations (and some of our allies) have similar capabilities.
  3. It should reinforce the idea that if a service is really that important (like PNT), we should have multiple widely available ways to get it, not just through space.

Other things to know:

  • Both China and Russia have widely available non-space PNT methods.

Jamming GPS signals is a regular feature of Russian military security operations

 　　Russia has jammed GPS signals around NATO exercises on more than one occasion, often from a base in Syria jamming large swathes of the Middle East. Spoofing GPS signals in Moscow and the Black Sea to trick receivers into reporting they are at airports miles from their actual location is well documented. 　　The United States has formally expressed concern about the recent surge of Russian troops and their activities on the Ukrainian border. Two U.S. Navy ships are reportedly heading to the Black Sea to monitor the situation. 　　The birth of mobile phones has indeed shortened the distance between people and brought great convenience to everyone's life. However, with the popularity of mobile phones, everyone has basically reached a form that is inseparable from the body, which gives many opportunities. It can do a lot of damage. Therefore, the cell phone jammer market also came into being. 　　Some areas that require strict control, such as military power plants, prison

　　Jamming satellite signals is not easy because it requires a lot of power.If someone finds out that you are using a cell phone jammer, they may report that you are interfering with radio signals and causing harmful interference.If the signal jammer is strong enough, it can block signals from a certain location or even moving vehicles.All in all: do some research first!First, consider the location of your company or office. 　　So how do you know where to give you the results you want? 　　We recommend visiting a few websites before buying anything so they can help guide you on what to do based on technical specs and budget constraints Make informed decisions about how much power each device needs - meaning they can also point to different options if needed, depending on whether money is more important than size constraints (and vice versa).If the jammer is nearby, it can interrupt communication between the mobile device and the base station.The good news is that there is a

　　There are many places in life that need to block cell phone signals. At this point, the use of a mobile phone signal jammer is better, simple operation, and the shielding effect is also perfect. So What's the price of a cellphone jammer? This is also a major consideration for many people. After all, the prices on the market are different and there are many things to consider when choosing 　　There are many kinds of cell phone signal jammers, and the price is different, and the quality is also different, so many people think that the expensive one must be good, but not necessarily, sometimes if it is not suitable. Even the most expensive won't have good results, so make sure you pick the right signal jammer for a good price. 　　Since the advent of the cellphone jammer, it has been trusted by test rooms, schools, prisons, and other institutions. In fact, cell phone jamming is not new in the United States. The cellular telephone signal jammer only interferes with
