LOW-COST, MINIATURE TACTICAL JAMMERS

THE PROGRAM OBJECTIVES OF LIGHTWEIGHT, DISPOSABILITY AND LOW-COST WILL BE ACHIEVED BY MINIMIZING THE NEED FOR A BATTERY POWER SOURCE FOR THE MINIATURE TACTICAL JAMMER. THE KEY FEATURES OF THE DISPOSABLE JAMMER ARE: SPACE DEPLOYED RANGE 1-2 KM FROM THE SURVEILLANCE RADAR. MINIATURE 6" X 3/4" CYLINDER. DISPENSED BY AIR VEHICLE, ARTILLERY SHE-11 OR GROUND PERSONNEL. GA AS LOGIC AND MMIC DEVICES. LONG SHELF LIFE. A UNIQUE FEATURE IS THE UTILIZATION OF THE RF ENERGY RECEIVED FROM THE SURVEILLANCE RADAR AS A SOURCE OF PRIME DC POWER FOR THE JAMMER, AS WELL AS A SIGNAL FOR COHERENT JAMMING. THE LIGHTWEIGHT JAMMER SHOULD PROVIDE A NEW TECHNIQUE FOR JAMMING AND RELIEVE MANNED AIRCRAFT FROM JAMMING SURVEILLANCE RADARS.
