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. It's not perfect, but it will cut down casualties. |

You assume they'll stick to radio. Infra red lasers, as an example, are freely available and simple to use. So, come to think of it, is the Internet...

Raytheon Wins Contract For Radar-Jamming Variant Of It's Miniature Air
Launched Decoy See: http://www.spacewar.com/reports/Rayt...Decoy_999.html What advantages (if any) do expendables like this have over regular jamming aircraft like the EA-6B? |

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.

I've seen airport radar false trigger photo prox switches. It depends... If you have a random digital sequence used as a trigger code they'll have to cycle through the possibilities at the correct frequency and data rate. A 'long cycle LRS' takes the time it takes... -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
