The fact that GPS cell phone jammer can be bought openly on the internet shows that most countries are prepared to live with the problem. Currently, in internet, it is very easy to find not only jamming but also spoofing equipment available for buying. These equipments are not so expensive, being available in any quantity that one needs. Besides, a several number of tutorials can be found on websites and YouTube, teaching how to spoof and jam vectors, especially drones. It is just to “google it” and one finds security experts raising alarm over how to hack drones
This was a problem that emerged even as the shiny new wonder was being showcased in the sands of Iraq and Kuwait. Despite the huge technological mismatch, it did not take Saddam Hussein’s forces long to discover that even relatively unsophisticated devices could drown out the GPS signal in radio noise. That vulnerability remains, but while in 1991 jamming GPS called for some degree of technical know-how and access to resources, 27 years later, plans off the internet and cheap, readily available hardware bring it within the range of almost anyone.
The Perfectjammer Systems Tool Kit (PSTK) has a quick tutorial that demonstrates how to determine if a small, hand-held GPS jammer can interfere with your mission. One can also determine how spectrum filters or phased array adaptive nulling can counter this, or design new systems as other phenomenologies to get positioning, such as celestial navigation, that operate in these denied environment
As effective, broad spectrum jamming increasingly becomes key to survival in the modern contested airspace, UCLASS and other UAVs will almost certainly be included in efforts to help meet the growing capability demand. With the US Marine Corps due to retire its own fleet of EA-6B Prowlers in 2019 and no in-service replacements in the pipeline, the weight of the EW mission for naval expeditionary airpower will fall entirely on the Navy. Going forward, the NGJ will have a big role to fill.
An advocate for cell phone jammers being installed in South Carolina prisons, Stirling has previously said that prisoner access to cell phones is no different than access to weapons. McMaster has also supported cell phone jamming in prisons.In front of the increasing threat presented by drones, mostly if armed, Perfectjammer has developed a portable device to jam communication between a pilot/operator and its UAV. Once a drone is spotted, the jamming operator aims at it with his Drone Gun Pro and pull the trigger after having selected the relevant mode to treat that UAV in its current environment.
