    Unclass Meadowland SEWOL Overview.pptx
    The Counter Communications System (CCS) Development Capabilities Overview outlines the CCS's role in providing ground-based, deployable offensive space control to deny SATCOM to adversaries. Managed by L3Harris and various subcontractors, CCS consists of two primary iterations: CCS 10.2, operational since March 2019, and the developing CCS Meadowlands, which includes advancements to enhance operational flexibility and effectiveness. CCS Meadowlands incorporates automated multi-system control, optimized GUI, and miniaturized components, increasing mission control capacity and reducing logistical requirements significantly. Documentation supporting CCS includes several developmental and capability documents dating from 2006 to 2022. The new system aims to facilitate remote operations, improve signal sensitivity, and enhance transportability while maintaining space superiority. The overview also introduces the Space Electromagnetic Warfare Operating Location (SEWOL), aimed at integrating space electromagnetic warfare capabilities into a modular, cloud-hosted system to streamline command, control, and operational agility. This initiative represents a critical advancement in the USSF's capability to counter emerging SATCOM threats, ensuring the military can respond effectively in increasingly complex operational environments.
