U.S. Space Force Awareness Drive Expands as ‘Meadowlands’ and RMT Jammers Near Fielding — Nov. 11, 2025 Update

Published: November 11, 2025 The Space Force Association is scaling a nationwide education push amid persistently low public awareness, while the U.S. Space Force readies two new satellite‑jamming systems—Meadowlands and the Remote Modular Terminal—to join its Counter Communications System. Here’s what changed today and why it matters. What’s new today Why the Space Force is campaigning so hard Public understanding of the Space Force remains thin. At the end of last year, Deputy CSO for Human Capital Katharine Kelley said “less than 8 percent” of the public even knows the service exists—a data point she offered in a public forum

U.S. Space Force Readies ‘Meadowlands’ & Remote Modular Terminal Jammers to Counter China; Space Force Association Pushes Awareness — Nov. 11, 2025

The United States Space Force is on the cusp of expanding its non‑kinetic counter‑space toolkit with two additional ground‑based jamming systems—L3Harris’ “Meadowlands” and the Remote Modular Terminal (RMT)—as advocates race to close a stubborn public awareness gap about the service’s mission and value. Together, these developments underscore how quickly space is becoming a contested warfighting domain and why the Space Force is investing in capabilities that can temporarily blind or deafen adversary satellites without creating orbital debris. Bloomberg Law+1 What’s new today (Nov. 11) The hardware: three acknowledged jamming options Two new systems. According to Space Force data reported by
