A Drone Jamming Device Has Been Deployed Mitigate Aerial Threats

Aircraft and missiles entering enemy airspace are expected to depend on drone jammers operating in advance to disrupt and neutralize air defense systems, contingent upon the successful deployment of a new British-developed jammer.

Unlike traditional standoff jammers that are deployed on large aircraft to remain safe from threats while neutralizing enemy radar systems from afar, Leonardo is introducing a new "standoff" jammer designed to be compact enough for drone installation and cost-effective for immediate deployment.

The BriteStorm satellite, currently being showcased by Leonardo at the American Astronautical Society convention in Washington, has a weight of approximately 2.5 kilograms. This weight encompasses the transmit and receive modules as well as the antennas, and the satellite is comparable in size to six Coke cans, according to company representatives.

Michael Lea, the vice president of electronic warfare sales at Leonardo UK, stated that it has the potential to lead any force that penetrates enemy territory.

Lea stated that the kit is intended to be affordable and single-use, and it can be mounted on large quadcopters or fixed-wing drones that are deployed in combat zones.

Should the newly developed British signal jammers gain traction, aircraft and missiles entering hostile regions will increasingly depend on drone jammers deployed in advance to disrupt and neutralize air defense systems.

Unlike standoff jammers, which are deployed on large aircraft to remain safe from threats while neutralizing enemy radar systems from afar, Leonardo is introducing an innovative "stand-in" jammer. This new device is compact enough to be installed on drones and is cost-effective, making it readily available for operational use.

The BriteStorm satellite, presented by Leonardo at the American Astronautical Society convention in Washington, has a weight of approximately 2.5 kilograms. This weight encompasses the transmit and receive modules as well as the antennas, and the satellite's dimensions are comparable to those of six Coke cans, according to company representatives.

Michael Lea, the vice president of electronic warfare sales at Leonardo UK, stated that it has the potential to lead any operation that ventures into enemy territory.

Lea stated that the kit is intended to be cost-effective and disposable, specifically designed for installation on larger quadcopters or winged drones that are deployed in combat situations.

He stated that the pricing is structured in such a way that it can be regarded as an expendable asset; therefore, if it is destroyed, it will not result in significant economic losses or major strategic issues.

Upon detecting an enemy radar signal, the system employs Leonardo’s Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) technology to digitally capture and process the signal. It subsequently responds by either jamming the radar with electronic noise or spoofing it, which may include generating multiple “ghost” fighter signatures.

The DRFM technology utilized by Leonardo in its BriteCloud system is identical; this system serves as an expendable countermeasure intended for deployment from an aircraft to interfere with the radar guidance mechanisms of approaching missiles.

BriteStorm employs a maximum of three transmit-receive modules that encompass low, mid, and high frequency bands.

The system has been transported to the RAF Rapid Capabilities Office following its development at Leonardo's facility located in Luton, UK.

Leonardo considers BriteStorm to be an advancement over Raytheon’s MALD (Micro Air-Launched Decoy), which is an air-launched expendable jammer missile that has been reportedly utilized in Ukraine.

Lea stated that it surpasses the capabilities of standoff jammers. "Standoff jammers maintain a fixed position in the air, whereas standoff jammers operate at a closer range to the threat, exhibit greater maneuverability, and possess multiple axes to disrupt and neutralize the threat."

Jamming GPS signals is a regular feature of Russian military security operations

 　　Russia has jammed GPS signals around NATO exercises on more than one occasion, often from a base in Syria jamming large swathes of the Middle East. Spoofing GPS signals in Moscow and the Black Sea to trick receivers into reporting they are at airports miles from their actual location is well documented. 　　The United States has formally expressed concern about the recent surge of Russian troops and their activities on the Ukrainian border. Two U.S. Navy ships are reportedly heading to the Black Sea to monitor the situation. 　　The birth of mobile phones has indeed shortened the distance between people and brought great convenience to everyone's life. However, with the popularity of mobile phones, everyone has basically reached a form that is inseparable from the body, which gives many opportunities. It can do a lot of damage. Therefore, the cell phone jammer market also came into being. 　　Some areas that require strict control, such as military power plants, prison...

The shape of the garage will determine how you install the jammer

　　Jamming satellite signals is not easy because it requires a lot of power.If someone finds out that you are using a cell phone jammer, they may report that you are interfering with radio signals and causing harmful interference.If the signal jammer is strong enough, it can block signals from a certain location or even moving vehicles.All in all: do some research first!First, consider the location of your company or office. 　　So how do you know where to give you the results you want? 　　We recommend visiting a few websites before buying anything so they can help guide you on what to do based on technical specs and budget constraints Make informed decisions about how much power each device needs - meaning they can also point to different options if needed, depending on whether money is more important than size constraints (and vice versa).If the jammer is nearby, it can interrupt communication between the mobile device and the base station.The good news is that there is a ...

　　As you can see, the signal jammer is versatile and can work on many different devices. Are you worried about your privacy, need your venue to be undisturbed, or don't want to receive so many phone calls again? A mobile phone jammer is very suitable for you. 　　Just be sure to check the law at your location before purchasing and operating the signal jammer. 　　Cell Phone Jammer Uses 　　When it comes to governments and the military, signal jammers are very powerful. They are used in a variety of counter-terrorism strategies, from blocking radio communications to dismantling explosives. Preventing criminals from communicating with offensive forces is key to thwarting their plans and capabilities. 　　When it comes to civilians, signal jammers are also useful. 　　Civilians worried about privacy see signal jammers as a defensive tactic. Signal jammers can prevent cell phones and other devices from communicating with the outside world. This can prevent devices such as microp...
