L3Harris Technologies has provided the first Meadowlands production unit to the U.S. Space Force Combat Forces Command’s Mission Delta 3 – Space Electromagnetic Warfare unit. This advancement helps equip our warfighters with sophisticated jamming technology designed to disrupt enemy communications while safeguarding the integrity of their operations.
“L3Harris remains committed to pushing the boundaries of space technology and innovation,” said Ed Zoiss, President, Space and Airborne Systems, L3Harris. “The successful delivery of the Meadowlands Counter Communications System (CCS) production unit reflects our dedication to the Space Force’s mission to protect our nation's interests in space.”
The Meadowlands system is a more compact and transportable version of the CCS, leveraging ground-based radio frequency units to disrupt satellite communications. Designed for versatility, the system can be mounted on wheeled trailers, allowing for easy repositioning to evade adversarial counter-jamming measures.
At the recent Advanced Maui Optical and Space Surveillance Technologies Conference, U.S. Space Force Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman shared his thoughts on the overarching threats in space faced by our warfighters. “Our adversaries are developing counter-space weapons, and we must be ready to respond with speed, precision and resilience,” he said.
As space becomes increasingly contested, domain awareness and capabilities like Meadowlands are crucial for maintaining the security and operational superiority of national assets. Precise, real-time awareness of activities in space allows for proactive measures to address potential threats and protect vital systems.
The delivery builds on L3Harris’ ongoing partnership with the U.S. Space Force. In addition to the Meadowlands production unit, L3Harris provided the first two systems of the development contract earlier this year.
