U.S. Space Force plans upgrades for key electromagnetic warfare systems.
The U.S. Space Force’s Space Systems Command is exploring enhancements for three space electromagnetic warfare systems: the Counter Communications System (CCS), the Remote Modular Terminal (RMT), and Bounty Hunter. These upgrades aim to improve non-kinetic space control capabilities, crucial for countering emerging threats in the domain of space warfare. The CCS, developed by L3Harris Technologies, and the RMT, engineered by Northstrat and CACI International, are central to this initiative, highlighting the growing emphasis on advanced technologies in strategic defense. This development signifies a broader U.S. commitment to bolster its space capabilities, reflecting the increasing importance of electromagnetic warfare in contemporary military strategy and the need for nations, including India, to enhance their own space defense mechanisms.
