Pentagon researchers are developing a low-power reflectarray antenna to improve satellite communications resilience against jamming in space, enabling more efficient beam steering and interference suppression for future proliferated low-Earth orbit constellations.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understand the purpose of beyond Line-of-Sight capability in contested environments.
  • Explain how reflectarray antennas differ from traditional phased-array systems.
  • Recognise the importance of anti-jamming capabilities in military satellite communications.
