U.S. Space Force Guardians of the 16th Electromagnetic Warfare Squadron (EWS) conduct training on the Bounty Hunter system at Peterson Space Force Base, Colo. A part of Mission Delta 3, the 16th EWS protects critical satellite communication links to achieve a near-global capability to detect, characterize, geolocate, and report sources of electromagnetic interference on U.S. military and commercial satellites. The squadron also provides combat-ready crews to deploy and employ defensive space control capabilities for theater combatant commanders. U.S. Space Force photo by Dave Grim.
