Ghost in the Radar: The Secret Signal War Being Fought Around the USS Abraham Lincoln

Описание: When Operation Epic Fury launched on February 28th, 2026, a second war began immediately — one fought entirely in the electromagnetic spectrum, invisible to every news camera in the region.

Within 24 hours, Windward's maritime AI platform detected GPS and AIS interference affecting more than 1,100 vessels across the Middle East Gulf. Ships appeared on digital maps at airports, over nuclear power plants, inside Iranian territory. By March 4th, Windward had confirmed 92 denial zones and 44 injected signal areas across the Persian Gulf.

And at the center of it all: the USS Abraham Lincoln, operating its EA-18G Growlers carrying the AN/ALQ-249 Next Generation Jammer Mid-Band — the most advanced airborne jamming system the US Navy has ever deployed in combat — against Iran's Bavar-373, an air defense system built from the ground up to survive exactly that kind of attack.
