A weapon meant to jam Chinese and Russian satellites early in a
conflict has overcome technical flaws and is expected to be delivered
next year, more than two years later than originally scheduled,
according to the US Space Force.

The L3Harris Technologies Inc. system known as Meadowlands is a
lighter-weight, movable version of a "Counter Communications System"
that was declared operational in 2020. The new model can receive
updated software and is able to jam more frequencies. It was
originally slated for delivery in October 2022 but was dogged by
undisclosed technical problems.
