Against the backdrop of modern warfare's increasing reliance on satellite communications, the U.S. Space Force announced in March 2020 that its new Counter-Communications System, Block 10.2 signal jammer system, was ready for use.
Background of the CCS System
The Counter Communication System (CCS) was first deployed in 2004 to counter other countries' ability to use electronic warfare to interfere with U.S. satellite signals. Since then, CCS has undergone several upgrades, with Block 10.1 launched in 2014 and Block 10.2 officially announced in March 2020 after a year of rigorous testing.
CCS Block 10.2 GPS jammer technological Advances and System Features
CCS Block 10.2 GPS drone blockers is a mobile electronic warfare system designed to temporarily block enemy satellite communications. Its updates include support for multiple frequency bands and other advanced features, giving operators more flexibility in choosing jamming methods to disrupt enemy satellite communications. This flexibility not only improves the effectiveness of operations, but also enhances the U.S. Space Force's ability to respond in complex battlefield environments.
As the main contractor of the CCS system, L3Harris focused on adopting agile software development methods during the development of Block 10.2 to ensure that the system can quickly adapt to future technological changes and tactical requirements. This approach enables CCS to be quickly updated and improved to maintain its technological advantage when facing new electronic warfare threats.
