U.S. Deploys Satellite Jamming System

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-can't-hear-you-nya-nya-nya dept.

CNN has an article about a ground-based satellite jamming system that "uses electromagnetic radio frequency energy to knock out transmissions on a temporary and reversible basis, without frying components". Is this just another old school EM jamming technique, or something new? Of course they won't say, citing "operational security" concerns.
