The U.S. Army used the electronic warfare system called 'Hammer of the Gods' (Tanrıların Çekici), developed to neutralize enemy precision weapons, for the first time in an overseas test. Conducted in mid-July, this test marked the official debut of the system's naval version.
The test was conducted off the U.S. West Coast as part of the Project Convergence Capstone 6 (PC-C6) experiment. Army officials stated that land-based versions have been demonstrated over the past two years, but this trial was the first overseas test of the naval variant.
The portable jamming system targets a wide range of precision-guided weapons, including long-range artillery, guided missiles, and cruise missiles. It disrupts the positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) signals—including GPS data—that precision weapons rely on for accurate navigation. Without reliable PNT data, weapon accuracy drops sharply, leading to mission delays and missed targets.
Hammer of the Gods also establishes a resilient communications network that allows friendly forces to stay connected even under heavy electronic jamming. By linking military devices, it enables units to maintain their ability to 'shoot, move, and communicate' in degraded environments.
The trial involved the U.S. Army, Navy, and Space Force, as well as U.S. Space Forces Pacific, Naval Base San Diego, and the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command. The test aimed to integrate space, cyber, and conventional capabilities.
