But the countermeasures people have to react. It's not something you can
be

I really doubt any new equipment will be needed. There might be some
reprogramming required but an aircraft like the EA-6B
could be configured, in flight, to listen to hundreds of frequencies,
analyze dozens of modulation schemes or just plain triangulate an
emitter on the basis of energy as it flies around.

There is going to be no problem jamming a cellphone in a tight radius
around the troops its protecting and no problem jamming a broad range
of frequencies commonly used. If there is an emitter within a radius
around the troops its going to be recorded for later analysis and that
particular remote detonation system is likely to be neutralized.

You assume they'll stick to radio.

Infra red lasers, as an example, are freely available and simple to use.

Even with an optical or acoustic link (diode laser etc) is used it
should be relatively easy to jam or predetonate
electronics itself rather than the link. I've seen airport radar
false trigger photo prox switches.

Vietnam era B-52's had a microwave system to jam infrared homing
missiles by beaming into their seeker.



So, come to think of it, is the Internet...

These people are not stupid.
