US space forces will receive complexes to neutralize satellites

The American space forces intend to acquire and commission 2027 complexes by 48, designed to neutralize Russian and Chinese satellites. According to Bloomberg, these systems should interfere with satellites in case of conflict.

As explained by the representative of the center for the development and acquisition of weapons of the US Space Forces, Colonel Stephen Brogan, the systems planned for the acquisition are intended for the short-term decommissioning of spacecraft that support enemy communications. The complexes themselves are ground-based and their use does not imply "the appearance of space debris."



According to the agency, the American company L3Harris is developing, which offered the United States Space Forces (SC) two complexes. The name of the first one, already ready for operation, is not given, but it is known that the COP has already received 16 such systems. It is also known that the company is currently working on a second complex called Meadowland. The first four complexes of the US Constitutional Court should be received in 2022, another 28 - in 2023-2027. What these systems are and the principles of their work are not disclosed.

Note that the United States has repeatedly expressed concern about the development of Russian and Chinese space satellite constellations, allegedly threatening US national security. US intelligence (RUMO) annually publishes a special report that reflects all changes in Earth orbit and proposes measures to counter the “space threat” emanating from Russia and China.

Recall that the Space Forces are the sixth type of US armed forces, they were officially established at the end of 2019. Previously, the Pentagon said it was considering space as a potential theater of operations.

      The pioneer of anti-satellite weapons was the USSR.

      Back in the 60s, they launched a satellite into orbit, which was intercepted by another satellite.

          Read about the Russian electronic warfare systems:
          1. "Tyrrada-2S",
          2 "Divnomorye",
          3 "Palantin"
          These are all the newly created electronic warfare facilities, and not improvements from the USSR., And already everyone has been on combat duty since 2019.
          Only one complex "Divnomorye" replaces three complexes at once: "Krasukha-2", "Krasukha-4", and "Moscow-1".
          So, the USA needs to strain hard to create something like that. hi

        and how will it work? Radiation to a satellite dish is narrowly targeted.
        You can crush the satellite signal in a certain area where the jammers are located (such systems are also in service with us). But how to suppress a signal going to another continent from satellite to satellite - and then to the addressee?

          In this chain, there is almost always an SR (satellite repeater). This is either geostationary (there are no problems with these at all) or another, but still with the known parameters of the orbit and frequencies.

      "Satellites generally check for resistance to EMP ..."
      Not quite so - as a rule they consider resistance to specials. the effects of the elemental base. The impact of EMR is one of the components. The calculation is absolutely simple in the presence of statistical data acc. reference books. But if there is no data (a new series of element base, for example), welcome to full-scale tests.
      The laser (power is not even discussed) is not effective when working from the ground due to the characteristics of the beam passing through the atmosphere. It is easier to put local interference and suppress ground (or airborne, depending on the type of application) consumer receivers — frequency ranges and types of modulation are known to everyone.
      I don’t understand anything else - the Americans distinguish the CS as a separate component, realizing their importance, Russia combines the military-space forces and the Air Force, which are very different in application and operation, calling them VKS. What for?

      the laser does not reach the satellite. The Earth has an atmosphere, if you did not know which has the most detrimental effect on the laser beam.
      In addition, it is said that these systems do not cause fatal damage to satellite equipment, but only briefly disable it

          It’s not necessary at all, because now the fiber-optic lines have strongly suppressed satellite communication lines, and the main traffic goes through them. At a lower cost and speed, fiber-optic lines are much ahead of satellite lines, but which also cannot be dispensed with in remote areas and on the seas. Therefore, it is precisely for military and security purposes that we will further develop fiber-optic communication lines, and there is a great future for them in our country. I am not talking about specialized satellites - we are only talking about connected satellites.

              The laying of the world's first transoceanic fiber-optic communication line was completed in 1988 (between Japan and the USA), its length was about 10 thousand kilometers. [1] The first transatlantic telephone optical cable (TAT-8) was also commissioned in 1988. It was based on laser amplification technology optimized by E. Desurvire. The TAT-8 was designed as the first submarine fiber optic cable between the United States and Europe.

                  I am well aware why the Russian contingent was introduced into the SAR. To combat the IG.
                  This has nothing to do with the issue under discussion.

                  But it has the fact that Russia and the United States are not at war. Although both countries have their interests in the SAR and support the opposite sides. And as if they should not touch each other. Should not, but not obliged ... that we are in the direction of the Americans, that they are doing dirty tricks in our own way.

                  Was not in a state of war with the United States of the USSR during the times of Korea and Vietnam. Everyone knows about the events of those times. However, the planes were shot down and "comrades were taught."
                  Therefore, if Russia or the USA decide to play with each other's satellite groups, they will do so.

                        Do not lie so primitively - firstly, we technically cannot shoot down everything that flies in the sky of Syria, and secondly, we got permission to find our bases in the territory controlled by Assad at the time when it controlled less than 30% of the territory. And the talk that we will conquer these lands in the interests of Assad did not go at all - so to begin with, study at least the basic provisions of our agreements.

      then it may turn out that calculations will have to be done with a pencil on a piece of paper and use a simple compass.

      In fact, our entire nuclear triad and ground forces were trained in such a way that in the event of the failure of our entire orbital group, they will fulfill their task of retaliating and waging war in the field. Therefore, you should not bother with this especially - whether our satellites are working or not, this does not fundamentally affect the combat readiness of our armed forces, with the exception of intelligence systems and early warning systems.

                Yes, there are a lot of people who are sure that one Russian active radar satellite without problems gives a complete picture across the Earth in real time in the resolution of one meter.
                For a long time, you can forget about the power of 1 kW - nuclear installations, giving up to 5 kW in the satellite network, cannot be used in low orbits, and they did not work for long.
                And without it, at best, as the Germans have on a satellite above, no higher than 250 watts.
                And somehow they don’t think how easy it is to put interference from a radar of such power from the Earth

    Short-term failure of satellites - this means that weapons do not involve the destruction of satellites. After short-term interference, the satellite will continue its work as if nothing had happened. Zrada or overwhelming?

    For the curious:
    From Wiki -
    “L3Harris Technologies (L3Harris) is an American technology company, defense contractor, and information technology services provider that manufactures C6ISR systems and products, wireless equipment, tactical radios, avionics and electronic systems, night vision equipment, and ground and space antennas for use in the public, defense and commercial sectors. They specialize in surveillance solutions, microwave weapons, and electronic warfare. ”
    Contracts -
    feb. 2020
    “L3Harris wins $ 1,2 billion contract for 10 years for maintenance and upgrades of space surveillance systems (tracking sensors)”
    March 2020
    “The Space and Rocket Systems Center selected L3Harris and Raytheon (each for $ 500 million for 5 years) for the design and manufacture of anti-jamming satellite modems. Protected Tactical Waveform is an anti-jamming software developed by SMC to work with military satellite communications terminals that communicate with Global Satcom broadband. The anti-jamming waveform provides secure communications in a frequency independent format. ”
    Well, etc. The company is very serious, the 6th largest among military companies.
    And further. Regarding the comments “we are their electronic warfare” or “yes our electronic warfare!”.
    The fact that the Russian electronic warfare system is the best in the world is known from 2 sources -
    Russian media and amerskih media. But you cannot trust the “praise” from the American media - they will rather be “concerned” with the development of Russian electronic warfare and will keep silent about the successes of their electronic warfare, so I do not advise you to create illusions. Praising the “enemy” and keeping silent about your successes is part of “modesty”, that is, the secrecy of the amers' media.

      Prisoner, you have a surprisingly kind face and a delightfully naive look!
      And this is because your VO do not report to you (it is not supposed to know):
      “In a statement dated April 15, the US space command said that tests of the Nudol rocket showed that Russian rockets are capable of destroying satellites in low Earth orbit.
      In February, Russia launched and deployed an “inspector” satellite called Cosmos-2542, which launched the satellite “Cosmos-2543”, which was reportedly pursued by US satellite # 245, a secret intelligence satellite belonging to the National Intelligence Agency. ”
