US Army Conducts Test of 'Hammer of the Gods' Weapon Disruption System

The electronic-warfare system is designed to disrupt positioning, navigation and timing signals used by enemy precision weapons, officials said.

  • The United States Army is expanding real-world testing of its "Hammer of the Gods" electronic-warfare system, conducting trials off the coast of California with large-scale experimentation.
  • Designed to scramble Positioning, Navigation and Timing signals, the low-signature emitter serves as a maritime version of a land-based variant the military has used for over two years.
  • Under Project Convergence Capstone 6, the Army, Navy, and Space Force collaborated to experiment with the system, advancing the Department of Defense's broader modernization push.
  • Trials examined how interference can be shaped to disrupt weapons precisely; officials stated "Positioning, Navigation and Timing is the foundation of modern military operations."
  • Without PNT, modern weapon precision drops sharply, "resulting in delayed missions, missed objectives, or severe collateral damage," as Counter-PNT effects impact long-range targeting systems.
