The weapons, called Meadowlands and Remote Sensing Terminals, will join a larger and less mobile “Counter Communications System” jammer — an upgraded big dish that was declared operational in 2020.

The fresh systems will be dispersed worldwide and sometimes operated remotely, intended to counter what US military officials are more stridently outlining as a growing Chinese space-based threat against US forces.
