U.S. Space Force Gen. Stephen Whiting, Commander of U.S. Space Command, stated at this year’s Space Symposium, “It is our opponents, most notably China, who have accelerated the terrestrial and on-orbit space weapons and expanded their space-enabled kill chains. They are moving at jaw-dropping speed, and they’ve deployed vast armed arsenals of missiles, all deliberately fielded to threaten our homeland.”

To help answer the call for space superiority and deter future threats, ɫ��ֱ�� developed and recently delivered Meadowlands systems to the U.S. Space Force's Electromagnetic Warfare unit with additional units planned for distribution to various customer sites in the future.

Meadowlands is a ground-based and transportable Counter Communications System (CCS) designed to block or disrupt enemy adversary satellite communications. It can maneuver with ease, deploy rapidly, scale to meet mission requirements, and is composed of radio frequency equipment with a flexible design that allows plug-and-play integration of updates or new technologies.

USSF Col. Bryon E.C. McClain, Program Executive Officer for Space Combat Power, Space Systems Command, recently stated about Meadowlands, “We signed for the acceptance, which means it is now ours to move forward into the formal government testing process, our developmental testing and operational testing. We’ve had good success with the contractor testing, so we are optimistic that this next phase of more rigorous testing will be successful.”

“For more than 60 years, ɫ��ֱ�� has been a leader in providing innovative systems and tools to protect U.S. forces and ensure our adversaries are at a disadvantage in the space domain,” said Ed Zoiss, President, Space and Airborne Systems, ɫ��ֱ�� Technologies. “Meadowlands is a capability that will give our country and allies a decisive advantage in an increasingly highly contested space.”

Smaller than the previous CCS, Meadowlands is mounted on wheeled trailers. The radar-like units can be repositioned with ease, making it more difficult for adversaries to pinpoint and counter them. Meadowlands will take CCS capabilities to another level — providing more efficient jamming in a more portable and automated system.
