WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US soldiers deployed in Poland are testing a newly developed, backpack-mounted weapon that allows forward deployed troops to engage in electronic warfare (EW) from front-line positions, the Department of Defense said in a press release on Friday.

"Team members are learning to better operate and integrate EW capabilities, including the VROD, VMAX and Raven Claw," the release said. "The VROD and VMAX are part of the backpack system that surveys the field from an electromagnetic perspective and delivers limited electronic assault capabilities such as signal interception and jamming."

Raven Claw is a mobile computer system that allows on-the-ground planning and management without any network connection, the release explained.
