The program has funding to build around 160, and the service expects to need as many as 200 in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Space Rapid Capabilities Office, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2023\/08\/11\/how-the-space-force-is-preparing-its-ground-systems-for-dynamic-ops\/\" target=\"_blank\">a fast-moving acquisition team<\/a> based at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico, is the lead for the RMT program. Space RCO Director Kelly Hammett told reporters last week the small, modular terminals are designed to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/electronic-warfare\/2020\/04\/08\/this-is-what-the-space-force-will-use-to-jam-enemy-satellites\/\" target=\"_blank\"> block adversary communications from satellites<\/a> that are surveilling U.S. and allies, particularly in the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe want to be able to disrupt their comms and their kill chains and their targeting links,\u201d Hammett said during a Dec. 11 media briefing at the Spacepower Conference in Orlando, Fla. \u201cThat\u2019s what these systems are intended to do: to block reception going either from, say, sensors that are that are looking at our joint forces and reporting up to a satellite and back to a battle management node, or vice versa.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. is particularly concerned about surveillance satellites China has launched in recent years. The remote systems, called Yaogan, provide continuous, uninterrupted coverage of the Indo-Pacific theater to identify gaps in U.S. and allied forces. The latest version, Yaogan-41, launched to geostationary orbit late last year and can track car-sized objects, according to a January 2024 report from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csis.org\/analysis\/no-place-hide-look-chinas-geosynchronous-surveillance-capabilities\">Center for Strategic and International Studies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The RMT jammers will essentially \u201cyell in their ear\u201d so the radars can\u2019t command other systems to attack U.S. assets, according to Hammett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hammett declined to say where the first systems will be fielded, but said the initial locations have been identified. Speaking this fall at a separate Space Industry Days conference in Los Angeles, Hammett said operators will be able to control the systems from locations in the U.S. even as they\u2019re deployed around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Space RCO awarded contracts for the program just 18 months ago, working with a small, Virginia-based company called Northstrat. The firm partnered with a larger company, CACI, to leverage mostly off-the-shelf technology to build the terminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The terminals themselves are small, Hammett said, and cost roughly $1.5 million each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs far as space electronic warfare goes, you can\u2019t get much better than that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Remote Modular Terminals, which disrupt adversary satellites by &#8220;yelling in their ear,&#8221; as one official put it, are cleared
