Explained: How Starlink Of Elon Musk Prevented Russian Electromagnetic Attack In Ukraine

Top Pentagon official said US바카라 웹사이트needs to improvise its own EW rapid response considering the increasing probability of deployment of바카라 웹사이트electromagnetic warfare in modern wars.바카라 웹사이트

The바카라 웹사이트US Pentagon officials on Wednesday explained how promptly Starlink, the satelite-based internet division of Elon Musk-owned SpaceX, prevented a Russian electromagnetic attack바카라 웹사이트in Ukraine last month.바카라 웹사이트

Dave Tremper, the Director of electronic warfare for the Office of the Secretary of Defense,바카라 웹사이트delineated how SpaceX라이브 바카라 impeccable ability last month foiled the바카라 웹사이트Russian endeavour to jam the바카라 웹사이트Starlink satellite broadband service in a bid to destroy Ukraine's internet connectivity.

Responding to Ukrainian Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov's request, Elon Musk last month provided thousands of internet terminals of the size of an antenna to Ukraine, so the country may stay connected to the internet. These antenna-like terminals catch the internet being beamed to Earth by Musk's contellation of satellites in space, thus bypassing the ground-based conventional internet infrastructure.

The Russian attacks began the next day.바카라 웹사이트Tremper said,바카라 웹사이트“The next day,바카라 웹사이트Starlink had slung a line of code and fixed it and suddenly that [Russian jamming attack] was not effective anymore. From [the] electronic warfare바카라 웹사이트technologist라이브 바카라 perspective, that is fantastic바카라 웹사이트and how they did that was eye-watering to me.”

Musk said on March 25 that Starlink had, at that point, "resisted all hacking and jamming attempts".바카라 웹사이트

While applauding바카라 웹사이트Starlink for countering the electromagnetic warfare faster than the US military,바카라 웹사이트Tremper also mentioned that US바카라 웹사이트needed바카라 웹사이트to improvise its own electronic warfare바카라 웹사이트rapid response considering the increasing probability of deployment of바카라 웹사이트electromagnetic weapons in modern wars.바카라 웹사이트

Brigadier General Tad Clark, director of the US바카라 웹사이트Air Force's electromagnetic spectrum superiority, emphasised on the fact바카라 웹사이트that new and modified바카라 웹사이트systems to fight off electromagnetic warfare are바카라 웹사이트the need of the hour for US바카라 웹사이트in order to retaliate in a "quick, lethal, and resilient manner".

Brigadier General Tad Clark, director of the Air Force's electromagnetic spectrum superiority, said at the conference that the US needed to build new systems for electromagnetic warfare that had more resilience and speed, so it could respond to threats in a "quick, lethal, and resilient manner."

Tremper added that US had a "significant timeline to make those types of corrections and there's a really interesting case study to look at the agility that Starlink had in their ability to address that problem. We need to be able to have that agility".

According to the top Pentagon official, the modern day war arsenal should also include artificial intelligence and machine learning바카라 웹사이트to ensure quicker response. Increased use of digital engineering and software coding can also appears to be highly바카라 웹사이트instrumental in equipping the country's defense repertoire.바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트

Ukraine has used Elon Musk's Starlink internet service to stay online throughout the war. The country's forces have used it to destroy Russian tanks as well by connecting their drones to Starlink's internet.바카라 웹사이트
