High power jammer in US

The US military is “not prepared” to conduct radio and radar jamming against high-end adversaries, a veteran electronic warfare officer now in Congress says. We have made major progress jamming terrorist communications in Afghanistan and Iraq, says Rep. Don Bacon, a retired one-star general who recently visited both countries. But even against such low-tech foes,…

For one thing, it turns out we haven’t actually been doing much offensive electronic warfare for most of those 16 years. Back when Bacon flew over Iraq, the overwhelming focus was on just one mission: jamming radio-controlled roadside bombs (RCIEDS). 

The Army has no standard-issue offensive jamming gear at all, although some is being developed and ad hoc kit is being hastily fielded to Europe. The Air Force has the EC-130H Compass Call, but it’s a big and slow target derived from the C-130 turboprop cargo plane, and the aircraft is wearing out.

With the interest in DroneShield’s drone gsm jammer from various militaries around the world growing, the company’s shoulder-fired jammer, the DroneGun MkII, has been certified safe for human exposure.

For a local department to justify a drone jammer, I would think that they would need to prove that there is a legitimate threat from drones to the community. Now, many small departments own MRAPs or similar vehicles so I could be very wrong.

GPS Jammer technological development

There is, however, the threat of interference technology, like GPS jamming. The use of CRPA simulators can mitigate the dangers of GPS jamming. But how disruptive can interference be from jamming systems?

Jamming devices are radio frequency transmitters with the ability to disrupt various communication platforms like phone calls, Wi-fi networks, and GPS technologies.

This cell phone jammer is designed to be used by one operator and doesn’t require any special training or skills. Its effective range is 500 meters. The way it works is it uses optical and electrical jamming measures to cut the communication of the drone with its control station. It also has a laser which can disable the surveillance cameras on UAVs. This weapon was initially designed not for military but for civilian/security use. It is meant to disable drones without necessarily damaging them.

The importance of drone jammer technology

In recent years the threat of drones has become increasingly vivid to many security agencies. Drones, nowadays, are used by terrorist and criminals for a multitude and variety of activities such as dropping small bombs on enemy forces in Syria and Iraq, and the same drones are often used for reconnaissance and smuggling of illicit contrabands to prisons.

Basically, the drone jammer creates an envelope of jamming which surrounds the drone. Concretely, the system jams the downlink signal of the drone to the drone operator and the signal coming from the GPS satellite.
