The US Space Force has revealed its plan to deploy jammers designed to disrupt satellite signals in the Indo-Pacific, prompting warnings that it could escalate into an “electronic warfare battle” with China when Donald Trump returns to office.
Kelly Hammett, director of the Space Rapid Capabilities Office, said last month that the systems, known as Remote Modular Terminals (RMTs), were designed to disrupt “kill chains”.
A primary target for these jammers is China’s expanding satellite surveillance network, especially its Yaogan series.
Yaogan’s satellites are able to track objects as small as a car from space and provide continuous surveillance over the Indo-Pacific Command, according to a report by the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a Washington-based think tank.
