Say, I build a small detonator from RC car parts, and it depends on the transmitter sending "left, right, left..." every 30 seconds, with a timer starting on every signal, counting down until the opposite side timer is started. With a white noise jammer, no signal gets through anymore, 30 seconds later you get *bang*... All this stuff came out at the inquest into the people shot in Gib. The claim was made that the security forces should be able to jam the signal. They explained in some detail why they couldn't. It seems that the IRA people used a Trio Radio Amateur 144 MHz pocket radio system that requires a sequence of reversals transmitted by VHF FSK to trigger an open channel. *The sequence is set by a row of five thumbwheels, each of ten digits. So you've got a million, minus one, possible combinations. I leave as an exercise for the reader the calculation of the linear recursive sequence necessary to trigger the thing prematurely... This, *of course, assumes the security forces know the radio frequency and the FSK baud rate and frequency shift. White noise generators don't work once the bad guys get up to 'radio amateur' levels of knowledge of triggering technology... Gibraltar was 20 years ago. They've learned a lot since then and deaths from IED's have dropped dramatically since the USN's EW experts have trained the soldiers to use the equipment correctly. "They called themselves "sand sailors," and they did their job well by reducing IED fatalities at their bases. Monthly U.S. troop deaths from IEDs have dropped since reaching a high of 90 in May to 17 last month, in part because of their efforts, the military said in awarding Bronze Stars to Dye and others." http://www.boston.com/news/nation/ar...ead_ied_fight/ BB I guess everybody has some mountain to climb. It's just fate whether you live in Kansas or Tibet... |
