"Signal jamming a factor in future wars, general says"
Signal jamming a factor in future wars, general says
Saddam Hussein's failed attempt to jam U.S. Global Positioning System navigation signals during the Iraq war is an example of the growing danger of space warfare, the Air Force's top space commander said yesterday. at http://www.washtimes.com/national/20...0137-1548r.htm |

They figured quite quickly how to make a weapon to home right on in that jamming signal. Those "jammers" were eliminated rather quickly.

beacon too? They figured quite quickly how to make a weapon to home right on in that jamming signal. Those "jammers" were eliminated rather quickly. I doubt it,how could thousands of low cost jammers be eliminated quickly? Even if they could be eliminated eventually cost benefit outcome of a such operation would not be very favorable. Such jammers cost less than one Grand and Iraqis had only 6 or 7 of them,thanks to international embargo. So its not very hard to imagine what whould happen if they had 6000-7000 instead of 6 or 7. |

Isn't it true that the "jammers" they found in Iraq, were only good for small area jamming? By the time the weapon got within that area, it was probably too late to prevent it hitting its target due to ballistics etc? |

snip Unless you spend a lot more money on them, they're also very vulnerable to the newer EMP weapons. In WWII the real secret weapon (proximity fuses) could only be used over water until mid 44,in the UK with the V1 and not over enemy territory intil the start of 45. The reason was fear of of copying a dud shell as the allies had more to lose. What is the better target for EMP weapons a GPS jammer or the NY stock exchange? The "piles of cheap low-power jammers" idea is nice, as long as you don't have to keep using them. At a rough guess the cost for a 1W jammer using cellphone components would be ~$5, just keep sending them up with balloons (add $1). -- regards jc LEGAL - I don't believe what I wrote and neither should you.

Gee, now why didn't they think of the possibility of GPS system jamming
twenty years ago when they invented it? Do you really think that was overlooked? The general sounds like he was just creating a strawman argument to justify more DOD budget money!

Let's split the difference and say it got lost somewhere along the way. (Otherwise, why would CCM against GPS jammers be a profitable business, if the system was inherently resistant?)
