What Is the Meadowlands System?
CCS Meadowlands is a compact and light system designed to jam adversarial satellite communications using remote capabilities, automation technologies and an upgraded open software architecture. In May 2025, U.S. Space Force Guardians commenced training on the CCS.
How Important Are Electromagnetic Warfare Systems to the USSF?
According to the Space Operations Command, the system allows up to 300 percent increase in simultaneous remote mission management. “Our Guardians are at the forefront of joint operations, so we are fielding capability that best enables their success and the success of the joint force,” said USSF Col. Angelo Fernandez, commander of the MD 3 Space Electromagnetic Warfare unit. “Every day, Space Force electromagnetic warfare forces become better organized, trained, equipped, and mentally prepared to operate in hostile environments,” he added.
