Fox News • • nation
Key Points:
- The U.S. Army tested a new electronic warfare system called "Hammer of the Gods" in mid-July off the U.S. West Coast, designed to covertly jam navigation signals used by enemy precision weapons.
- This maritime variant, part of Project Convergence Capstone 6, is the first sea-based demonstration following previous land-based tests over the past two years.
- The portable disruptor targets positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) signals, including GPS, reducing the accuracy of long-range artillery, guided missiles, and cruise missiles.
- The system also establishes a resilient communications network for friendly forces, enabling continued coordination and operations despite heavy electronic jamming.
- Army officials confirmed the system was successfully launched, operated, and recovered in real-world maritime conditions during the exercise.
