Do you really think that was overlooked? Let's split the difference and say it got lost somewhere along the way.

Some creative Russian printed up some ACME GPS Jamming System brochures and took SH for some of his money ? -- Al Dykes ----------- adykes at p a n i x . c o m |

Some creative Russian printed up some ACME GPS Jamming System brochures and took SH for some of his money ? Elements of that. Basic GPS systems, civilian and some military, are very easily sent berserk by low jamming powers. Less basic systems are more resistant, increasing (for rising input cost) to very jam-proof systems that are extremely difficult to lock out. GPS jamming is a real problem. It has real solutions and it's not a surprise. (And it's harder to do than the doomsayers would claim, just as it's more of a problem than some like to admit) -- He thinks too much: such men are dangerous. Julius Caesar I:2 Paul J.

It has real solutions and it's not a surprise. (And it's harder to do than the doomsayers would claim, just as it's more of a problem than some like to admit) The higher end systems would appear to have highly directional 'phased array' antena that can exclude the jaming signal by locking onto the satelite directly based on both satelite signal and known maps of satelite position. A jammer must thus be as high as possible (preferably in line with between the satelite ) to get energy into the sidelobes of the antena. Low cost solid state acceleromters and inertial guidence systems will give many munitions a inertial guidence system that will takeover as soon as effective jamming is detected which is likely to be only near the target. There are indeed wind corrected bombs that cost perhaps double that of a GPS bomb but loose only a little in accuracy. On top of that simple infrared imaging systems based on the same sensors now used in highend cars add even more accuracy than GPS is capable of. At best jammer will only be able to degrade the accuracy slightly while forcing up the price of the munition slighly or even increasing it by forcing the bomber to add a simple terminal homing system. |
