Newsweek: U.S. Space Force Is Building Weapons to Block Russian and Chinese Satellites

The U.S. Space Force is reportedly building a stockpile of new weapons systems that are capable of jamming communications satellite signals during orbital conflict.

The agency, the newest branch of the American military, confirmed in March it's new offensive weapon—the Counter Communications System Block 10.2—was operational after a year-long testing period. Developed in partnership with L3Harris Technologies, the tech was described as a "transportable space electronic warfare system that reversibly denies adversary satellite communications."

Now the agency, a division within the Air Force, has said 16 units of that system have since been delivered, and work has now begun on the next model.

Lieutenant Colonel Stephen Brogan, a unit head involved with procurement for the Space Force, told Bloomberg in an interview that the successor is known as "Meadowland."
