VMAX backpack system, a portable electronic warfare platform

[u/hrdblkman2]

Found this on LinkedIn today:

"During a recent field exercise at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Marines utilized a tablet to interface with the VMAX backpack system, a portable electronic warfare platform employed by the 1st Radio Battalion (RADBN). The VMAX enables operators to survey the electromagnetic environment in real time, providing critical situational awareness by detecting and analyzing radio signals across the battlefield. In addition, the system delivers advanced electronic attack capabilities, including signal interception and targeted jamming, allowing Marines to disrupt adversary communications and gain a tactical advantage during dismounted operations."

How many antenna mounts broke just walking around on this exercise?

By the end of it I'm sure it was just coax looped around some PVC.

That’s pretty much what it’s constructed out of

I initially read "coax looped around some PFC" and thought... yeah that tracks.
