Summary
Mid-July trials off the U.S. West Coast marked the first maritime test of the Army’s "Hammer of the Gods," an overseas experiment aimed at disrupting enemy precision strikes.
The portable system jams positioning, navigation and timing signals—including GPS—that guided artillery, missiles and cruise missiles use, sharply reducing accuracy and raising the odds of missed targets.
Army officials said the test also proved the system could be launched, operated and recovered in real maritime conditions while sustaining a resilient communications network for friendly forces under heavy jamming.
Project Convergence Capstone 6 brought together the Army, Navy and Space Force with Pacific space and missile units, reflecting a broader push to fuse electronic warfare, cyber, space and conventional operations.
