The US Space Force’s largest exercise to date, called Resolute Space 2025, is focusing on “orbital warfare,” and includes live jamming of satellite systems to help Guardians better understand how to fight through enemy attacks, according to service officials.

“We do have space electromagnetic warfare, as well as cyber warfare and orbital warfare, aggressors that are participating in live, virtual and constructive environments that will present challenging scenarios for the Blue Forces to fight through a contested environment throughout the scenario,” Lt. Col. Shawn Green, commander of the Space Force’s 527 Space Aggressor Squadron, told reporters on Tuesday.

“Our goal is to create a relevant, realistic, informed threat replication for Blue to fight through so that we can increase the probability of success in war,” he explained. “What that looks like is we have a mission planning cell that’s looking at the synchronization of those fires across orbital warfare, cyber warfare and electromagnetic warfare, to have a series of moves and countermoves for our Blue Forces to fight through.”
