The
U.S. Space Force said on Feb. 17 that its Space and Missile Systems Center’s (SMC) Wideband Global Satcom (WGS) Mitigation and Anti-Jam Enhancement (MAJE) program has demonstrated the geo-location of jamming signals.
SMC said that it conducted three system tests virtually, due to COVID-19 restriction in the final quarter of last year. The tests verified MAJE system design and the system’s ability “to provide telemetry and successfully locate signals interfering with WGS satellites” for the 10
Boeing WGS satellites, per SMC.
“With the support of MAJE prime contractor Boeing, test events were executed by a combined government and industry team,” SMC said. “Testing involved personnel from the Army’s Space and Missile Defense Command, Army Project Manager Defense Communications and Army Transmissions Systems, Boeing, and SMC working together virtually.”
