US deploys advanced decoy systems to protect new Air Force One

The White House communications director Steven Chang has revealed that the United States is employing sophisticated deception and evasion measures to safeguard the newly configured Air Force One presidential aircraft. Speaking on Thursday, Chang outlined how the aircraft has been equipped with state-of-the-art security systems designed to protect the president and crew members from emerging threats.
The disclosure comes amid heightened concerns about potential threats to the presidential aircraft from hostile actors and adversarial nations. Chang emphasised that these defensive measures represent the latest in military aviation technology, reflecting ongoing efforts by the US government to maintain the security of the president during air travel.
The new Air Force One configuration includes multiple layers of technological protection, with decoy and jamming systems forming a central component of its defensive architecture. These systems are designed to confuse and deflect potential threats, whether from air-to-air missiles or electronic targeting systems.
The announcement underscores the significant resources and technological investment the US devotes to presidential security, particularly in light of evolving security challenges in the modern geopolitical environment.
