The U.S. Army has unveiled an electronic warfare system called the "Hammer of the Gods," A portable platform designed to disrupt the guidance signals used by enemy precision-guided weapons. The system works by jamming the positioning, navigation, and timing signals that modern missiles and guided projectiles rely on for accurate targeting, causing them to lose course information and significantly reducing their strike effectiveness.
The technology has undergone evaluation in land-based versions over the past two years. A demonstration conducted earlier this month off the West Coast marked the system's first maritime trial, with Army officials confirming to Fox News that it successfully operated and was recovered under realistic sea-based conditions.
Beyond disrupting hostile weapons, the platform includes its own communications network, enabling U.S. And allied forces to maintain reliable communications while the jamming system is active or in environments where normal communications have been compromised.
The revelation follows the recent show of another advanced military capability. During a rescue operation of a U.S. Air Force officer shot down over Iran earlier this year, intelligence officials employed a previously undisclosed CIA technology called "Ghost Murmur," Which the agency stated located the stranded airman by remotely detecting his heartbeat. The system uses nitrogen-vacancy center diamonds capable of sensing magnetic fields, paired with artificial intelligence to filter surrounding interference.
University of Wisconsin-Madison physics professor Thad Walker said that identifying a heartbeat from 100 meters away would be an "astounding" Achievement, though officials have not disclosed the actual distance from which the pilot was detected.
President Trump praised the breakthrough, telling The Post, "Nobody even knows what that is. Nobody has ever heard of it before," And suggesting additional classified capabilities remain undisclosed. "We have many other things that nobody has ever heard about. We have equipment the likes of which nobody has ever even thought about," He said.
