In mid-July 2026, the U.S. Army, Navy, and Space Force successfully tested the Hammer of the Gods, a counter-PNT electronic warfare system, in open water off Southern California. This marked the first maritime deployment of the system, which disrupts GPS signals to hinder adversary precision weaponry. The test validated the system's operational capabilities and its resilient mesh networking, allowing friendly forces to maintain communication while executing GPS denial. The experiment was part of Project Convergence Capstone 6, aimed at enhancing joint military operations in contested environments. Lt. Col. Darrin Hall emphasized the importance of PNT data for modern military operations, noting that disruptions can severely impact mission effectiveness. The results will inform the development of the $3 billion Generation Command and Control (NGC2) prototype, further integrating counter-PNT capabilities into military strategy.
