1st robot air attack SQUADRON!!!! bound for iraq

Flood the airspace with a high wattage transmitter and obliterate the UAV's signals and you have a dead bird in the air ready to be shot down.

You can encrypt your transmissions all you want but if someone blanks out your area with noise then it won't matter.

Without getting into TOO many specifics, do you have any idea how much wattage it would take to jam ALL the possible frequencies that a UAV uses to fly and transmit data over a large enough area to make a difference?

And, oh, by the way...if you've jammed ALL the freqs, what do you expect 'friendly' forces to use for command and control??

Hint: if they could do it currently, they would.

Noise jamming is a pretty low-tech and easily defeated technique.

The jammer is also extremely easy to find, making such noise. If I can find it I can kill it. Which means we send a ship in to get them to "paint" our radio. We triangulate them and pop them with ground based artillery, then proceed on with the flight. There's a number of levels and layers in those levels to this game. It';ll be just fine.

My mother-in-law used it all the time

But I bet that is not so easily defeated, now is it Jack?
