Satellites of Russia and China will come end: the US launches a new reb system into space
The new system will not create "information space garbage" because it is designed to create temporary, "reversible" obstacles to satellites. According to Bloomberg News, MEADOWLANDS mobile weapons have to "stuff" the enemy's spacecraft in the early stages of armed conflict. The cost of Meadowlands is estimated at about $ 219 million, and it is a more optimized version of "Space Reb", which began to work in early 2020.
Although this system was planned to be put into operation 2 years ago, launch was postponed due to technical problems. The problems that arose during the trials were solved and the program goes to the final stages of integration and tests, Bloomberg News said representatives of the Space Systems Command. The department added that technical problems were caused by unexpected problems that "required complex processing of nodes.
" Now instead of 14 racks for equipment that were in the previous version of Meadowlands, a new one is equipped with radar "plates" installed on wheel trailers with only two racks, which simplifies the deployment. "Reducing the area and increasing the capacity of Meadowlands will significantly improve its functions," said Charles Gelbret, a senior researcher at the Air Force Association.
And according to Major General Gregory Ganon, Deputy Head of Space Space Forces Intelligence Department, about half of more than 700 Satellites of China are used for remote sensing, intelligence, observation and reconnaissance. "Their satellite arms can track us, can see us, can transfer data to its management network and expose the US forces, which we do not even suspect," Ganon added.
