"The 'Meadowlands' system is a powerful satellite jammer built to temporarily knock out enemy communications at the start of a conflict, a key strategic element for U.S. military operations."
"The system can produce an extremely powerful blast of radio noise that can drown messages from foreign satellites, particularly those used by Russia and China for surveillance."
"Major Neal Carter explained the concept of jamming with an analogy of a loud family scene, emphasizing that the jamming works by overwhelming the intended signal, making it inaudible."
"With a cost of $120 million, the Meadowlands system has faced delays but is now set for delivery at the beginning of 2025, representing a significant advancement in electronic warfare capabilities."
