UAV Spoofers and drone jammers

Image
Counter-UAS Non-Kinetic Soft-Kill Technologies Non-kinetic counter-drones collect data by interfering with or intercepting transmission signals. These approaches typically result in the drone plummeting to the ground at high speeds, making it an unappealing countermeasure to deploy above crowds. While it may not be suitable for usage over crowds, it may be beneficial in other situations. When contemplating drone countermeasures, always consult your country's regulations; drone jammer and drone spoofers are not authorized in the United States. What exactly is a drone jammer? Jammers operate by emitting electromagnetic noise at the radio frequencies used by drones to operate and transmit data. They effectively drown out a drone's and its operator's talk. This is commonly 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz, which are unlicensed, public frequencies. This prohibits jammers from interfering with piloted airplanes, mobile phones, public broadcasting, or other radio frequencies that are not in u

Electronic Jamming Tactics Jamming has increased in sophistication as electronic warfare gps has developed and phone includes an array of tactics. Barrage jamming is performed against two or more frequencies phone. This can be useful when the aggressor does not know exactly which radio or radar frequencies their adversary is using. Nonetheless, they may know with reasonable gps certainty which phone waveband of frequencies they may be using. Spot jamming is performed against specific frequencies known to gps be in use. The advent of solid-state electronics in the 1960s revolutionized jamming technology. It facilitates the development of complex phone digital radio frequency memory (DRFM) systems. These are particularly useful for jamming radar equipment. DRFM detects incoming radar signals, samples the signal, and then cleverly sounds an alert before retransmitting it to phone the radar. This new false signal could confuse radar by showing two or gps more targets where there used to

Why do we care about what drone jammers are?

As a professional photographer and drone pilot, I've seen firsthand how drone technology has become mainstream (pun intended) in recent years. But with great power comes great responsibility, and as our skies become increasingly filled with these high-tech devices, the need for regulatory and control measures becomes increasingly clear. Enter the world of drone jammers . In this article, we’ll explore the ins and outs of drone jammers, from basic functionality to legality. We will also discuss some practical applications of this technology. Whether you're a drone enthusiast interested in the technology, a security professional looking to learn about drone defenses, or someone just concerned about privacy, this guide is for you and her. Introduction to drone defense technology Okay, guys, let’s get down to business. What exactly is a drone jammer? Why should we care? What is a drone jammer? Imagine you are flying your drone and taking stunning aerial shots, and suddenl

Satellite signal interference reaches new low

Starlink and other low-Earth orbit constellations face new security risks Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 really threw Ukrainian communications into a tailspin: Shortly before the invasion, Russian hackers disabled Viasat satellite ground receivers across Europe. Then entrepreneur Elon Musk stepped in and offered access to Starlink, SpaceX's growing network of low-Earth orbit (LEO) communications satellites. Musk soon reported that Starlink was suffering from cell phone jamming attacks and software countermeasures. In March, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) concluded that Russia was still trying to block Starlink, according to leaked documents from U.S. National Guard pilot Ryan Teixeira seen by The Washington Post. According to the "Defense One" website, the Ukrainian military also blamed the Starlink problem on Russian gps jamming . If Russia blocks low-Earth orbit constellations, this will be a new height in the silent war between space and earth commu

Prosecutor to Congress: Let State Prisons Block Mobile Phones

Image
Top prosecutors across the country are again calling on Congress to pass legislation that would allow state prisons to interfere with cellphone signals smuggled to inmates. According to lawyers, the devices allow people to plan violence and commit crimes. “We simply need Congress to pass legislation giving states the authority to implement cell phone jamming systems to protect prisoners, guards and the public at large,” 22 prosecutors wrote in a statement. Wednesday's letter to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Wilson's office said it plans to contact Democratic prosecutors and does not believe the matter is partisan. The letter, obtained by The Associated Press, cites several crimes that lawyers say were orchestrated by inmates using contraband cellphones, including a drug conspiracy in Tennessee and a double murder ordered by an inmate in Indiana. They also led a gang siege at a South Carolina prison in 2018 that lasted more th

Representative Kustov Senator Cotton introduces Phone Interference Reform Act

Image
Congressman David Kustoff (R-TN) and Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) have introduced the Cellphone Jamming Reform Act, a bill aimed at addressing the issue of contraband cellphone use in federal and state prison facilities. The purpose of this legislation is to allow prisons to utilize cellphone jamming systems in order to protect inmates, guards, and the wider public from potential harm. According to Congressman Kustoff, putting an end to the illicit use of contraband cellphones within correctional facilities will have an immediate impact on reducing crime rates, enhancing public safety, and relieving the burden on our overwhelmed correctional systems. He stresses that this act represents a crucial initial step towards tackling the current crime crisis faced by America. Congressman Kustoff expresses his pride in collaborating with Senator Cotton to introduce such pivotal legislation and urges fellow members of Congress to offer their support. Senator Cotton highlights how prisoners have

Is signal interference defense inadequate for the task?

Image
In today's fast-paced world, high-speed Internet and mobile services have become necessities rather than luxuries. But as data services continue to evolve and mature, requiring higher Internet speeds, and as operating systems need protection, hackers and adversaries continue to interfere. For some, this involves hacking into wireless connections in homes and offices for the purpose of extracting personal or business data. But whether they're targeting government agencies, private companies, or individual users, these attackers typically use high-power signal jamming devices - wireless portable devices that block communication between devices. Such jammers are also a means of defense for users seeking to escape these attacks. With this dichotomy in mind, former Khoury doctoral student Hai Nguyen and his advisor Guevara Noubir, both members of the Institute for Cybersecurity and Privacy at Khoury College, have pioneered a novel approach that can essentially eliminate these hi

Efforts to curb cell phone contraband in South Carolina prisons intensify

Ensuring the safety and security of both staff and inmates within correctional facilities is of utmost importance. Implementing stringent security measures is crucial to maintain control and prevent dangerous situations from arising. Sadly, the presence of cellphones in prisons poses a significant threat to this goal. One of the main challenges that correctional facilities face is preventing contraband items from entering the prison. Traditional security measures such as body scanners, metal detectors, and thorough searches often prove ineffective in detecting smaller items like cellphones. Inmates and their accomplices have become increasingly creative in concealing these devices, exploiting vulnerabilities in the system. Once cellphones find their way into prisons, they become powerful tools for organizing criminal activities within and beyond the facility's walls. Gang leaders, drug dealers, and other inmates can use cellphones to coordinate illicit operations, intimidate ot
