Electronic ASAT

Description

Electronic ASAT attacks target the communications lifelines of space systems rather than their structures: jamming raises the noise floor to deny service; spoofing crafts believable but false signals (navigation, timing, or control). These effects are usually transient and can be difficult to attribute quickly, yet they are operationally useful and comparatively inexpensive. Actors may obtain portable or fixed jammers, high-gain antennas with agile waveforms, and specialized signal-processing toolchains; from orbit, a nearby asset can deliver highly selective interference.
