US Space Force increases efforts to plug training capabilities gaps
The service has been seeking simulation and emulation solutions capable of reproducing multiple in-orbit threats.
Netline Communications Technologies is supplying its C-Guard Reactive Jamming (RJ) manpack system to the Israel Defense Force, the company announced on 5 August.
The C-Guard RJ manpack system is designed to provide frontline forces with a real-time counter-IED solution. The system detects and prevents IED activation attempts, creating a secured zone around soldiers on the frontline and reacting to real-time electronic warfare threats by both detecting the threat and providing an immediate response of jamming RF signals that are attempting to detonate the IED.
The solution offers advanced reactive jamming capabilities, wide coverage, simple operation by an individual soldier to provide protection of personnel within a specific radius, and improved overall control of the operational situation without requiring any additional hardware.
The company has also announced a €65 million contract with the Spanish Ministry of Defense to supply the C-Guard RJ vehicle system for the Spanish armed forces, with deliveries due to begin in December 2019.

The service has been conducting several acquisition and upgrading efforts involving artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve communication, data analysis and ISR systems.
The Syracuse 4B communications satellite, developed by Airbus and Thales Alenia Space, was launched last year, bolstering secure military satellite communications for the French Armed Forces. Thales has now been selected to provide terminals for vehicles.
The growing importance of space in modern warfare, advancements in satellite technology, and increasing threats from rivals like China and Russia were among the topics of a Eurosatory 2024 panel on military space operations.
AN/ARC-232A is a Starfire radio that provides VHF/UHF communications to airborne platforms and the transceiver is software-programmable, allowing for multiple waveform support as well as optional national electronic counter counter-measure (ECCM) capability.
During the 18-month period of the contract, Lockheed Martin will apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques to create surrogate models of aircraft, sensors, electronic warfare and weapons within dynamic and operationally representative environments.
