The Navy is engineering a new, more powerful, high-tech electronic warfare jamming technology, called the Next-Generation signal jammer, designed to allow strike aircraft to destroy enemy targets without being detected by modern surface-to-air missile defenses.
The emerging system also uses AESA. It will be the only AESA-based carrier offensive electronic attack jamming pod in DoD.The new jammer is designed to interfere with ground-and-air based threats, such as enemy fighter jets trying to get a missile “lock” on a target, developers explained.
Seventeen mobile phone signal jammer — model EC-SJJE-200 — will be installed inside the district jail, which would further help strengthen the security arrangements on the jail premises,” the spokesperson said.
“This order reaffirms Mercury’s commitment to the advancement of DRFM hardware and software subsystems in support of the warfighter,” said Brian Perry, president, Mercury Defense Systems. “Our advanced jammers provide U.S. aircrews with exposure and training to ensure that the first time they encounter advanced electronic attack capabilities it is not in an actual combat environment. These jammer capabilities are critical for continued U.S. air superiority, particularly in light of new and evolving electronic warfare threats.”
Some of the jammers fielded during the initial years of the war, such as the vehicle-mounted Duke V2 and Warlock jammers, were the basis for subsequent upgrades designed to defeat a greater range of threat signals. For instance, the Duke V3 vehicle-mounted jammer, now fielded on thousands of vehicles in theater, represents a technological improvement in capability compared to prior systems.
It’s likely that the “electronic measures” the ISR aircraft deployed were radio-frequency jammers, similar to the kind that JIEDDO developed to protect ground forces from IEDs during the heights of the US occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.
