US Army Tests 'Hammer of the Gods' to Blind Its Rivals. Here's What It Is and What It Can Do
The test assessed whether the land-based system can disrupt navigation signals and operate reliably aboard ships, officials said.
- In mid-July 2026, the U.S. Army, Navy and Space Force tested the maritime variant of the Hammer of the Gods system during Project Convergence Capstone 6, marking the electronic warfare emitter's first deployment at sea.
- Ground-Based versions of the system have logged two years of exercises across the joint force, providing military planners experience in integrating the Hammer of the Gods into command-and-control and electronic warfare operations.
- The test focused on countering Positioning, Navigation and Timing disruption affecting precision-guided weapons and navigation systems. Darrin Hall, chief of Modeling, Simulation and Integration for U.S. Space Forces Pacific, said the test validated joint operations in contested electromagnetic environments.
- Moving the technology to sea presented unique challenges like saltwater corrosion and radar clutter that desert test sites cannot replicate; the deployment proved counter-PNT capabilities can be managed during real-world maritime operations.
- Recent conflicts, including the war in Ukraine, demonstrated how heavily modern militaries depend on satellite navigation signals; the Pentagon aims to ensure forces maintain mission effectiveness when GPS signals are jammed or denied.

The Army has developed a new tool that can fool the precision-guided weapons that dominated the modern long-range battlefield. The weapon has been nicknamed “Hammer of the Gods,” but its […] The post US Unveils 'Hammer of the Gods' Military System for Ships, Adds Remarkable New Shielding Technology appeared first on The Western Journal.
The US Army has tested the maritime version of the "Hammer of the Gods" system for the first time in a large-scale exercise off the US West Coast. The technology is designed to disrupt navigation signals and thus reduce the accuracy of enemy precision weapons.
‘Hammer of the Gods’: U.S. military unleashes electronic warfare tech in successful test
The U.S. military has unleashed the “Hammer of the Gods” technology in a successful test. The military said it’s a result of Project Convergence Capstone 6, in which the Army, Navy and Space Force worked together to release the tech that is “an emitter” providing multiple command-and-control capabilities. It’s described as a “highly deployable, low-electromagnetic-signature, electronic warfare platform” that delivers “effects” at the forward edg…

Times of IndiaUS Army tests 'Hammer of the Gods' to blind its rivals. Here's what it is and what it can do
The U.S. Army successfully tested its new 'Hammer of the Gods' electronic warfare system. This system disrupts enemy positioning and navigation signals effectively. It also ensures friendly forces maintain vital communications in contested areas. The maritime demonstration occurred off the U.S. West Coast recently. This technology strengthens the Army's electronic warfare capabilities significantly.
The United States has a new war system called "Martillo of the Gods", which has just successfully tested in international waters.
