WASHINGTON, July 30 (Nationwide Times) — The U.S. Army said it tested a maritime version of its electronic warfare system known as Hammer of the Gods for the first time in mid-July during Project Convergence Capstone 6, off the U.S. West Coast.
The Army said the system is designed to covertly disrupt or jam positioning, navigation and timing signals, including GPS data, used by enemy precision weapons. Officials said the test showed the counter-PNT system could be launched, operated and recovered in real-world maritime environments.
The Army said the exercise involved the Navy and the Space Force. Reports summarizing the Army announcement said land-based versions of the system had been demonstrated in exercises over the previous two years before the maritime version went to sea.
Lt. Col. Darrin Hall, chief of Modeling, Simulation and Integration for U.S. Space Forces Pacific, said the experiment proved counter-PNT capabilities can be deployed, controlled and recovered in real-world maritime operations while extending operational reach through resilient mesh networking.
Hall also said the test demonstrated the value of joint collaboration in advancing operational readiness.
