“L3Harris remains committed to pushing the boundaries of space technology and innovation,” said Ed Zoiss, President, Space and Airborne Systems, L3Harris. “The successful delivery of the Meadowlands Counter Communications System (CCS) production unit reflects our dedication to the Space Force’s mission to protect our nation’s interests in space.”
The Meadowlands system is a more compact and transportable version of the Counter Communications System that uses ground-based radio frequency units to disrupt satellite communications. It can be mounted on wheeled trailers, enabling rapid repositioning to avoid adversary counter-jamming actions.
Speaking at the Advanced Maui Optical and Space Surveillance Technologies Conference, U.S, Space Force Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman addressed the wider threat environment in space. “Our adversaries are developing counter-space weapons, and we must be ready to respond with speed, precision and resilience,” he said.
L3Harris stated that the delivery reinforces its ongoing partnership with the US Space Force as space becomes a more contested domain. Earlier this year, the company also delivered the first two Meadowlands systems under the programme’s development contract.
