Boeing has unveiled an anti-jam payload that has been integrated into a US Space Force satellite communications spacecraft, which is scheduled to launch in 2024. The Protected Tactical Satcom Prototype (PTS-P) payload provides jammer geolocation, real-time adaptive nulling, frequency hopping and other techniques to automatically counter jamming efforts to keep warfighters connected in contested battlespace. The PTS-P will fly aboard the Space Force’s Wideband Global Satcom (WGS)-11 satellite. Boeing calls the anti-jam capability integrated on the WGS its Protected Wideband Satellite design. Northrop Grumman is also under contract for a PTS-P payload.
