AsterX 2025 exercises French Space Command units and partners with satellite jamming.

The enemy vessel KUSPA is conducting an active jamming campaign against the force's satellite systems. From March 17 to 19, it jammed radar and electromagnetic gathering satellites, affecting the imaging and reconnaissance capabilities of these systems. From March 20, KUSPA extended its jamming to a force communications satellite, disrupting transmissions and communications. Between March 21 and 23, it targeted GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) systems in the Provence region, threatening navigation and precise positioning. The analysis of jamming signals, the precise location of this vessel and the implementation of countermeasures are crucial to counter enemy actions and protect the force's satellite systems. The situation calls for strong interaction between the naval and space components. The two components must collaborate tightly to identify, characterize and deal with this threat.
