Drone jamming technology: a new battlefield for global defense forces

　　　Drone jamming technology is becoming increasingly important in modern warfare. As drones are increasingly used on the battlefield, a major challenge facing the military of various countries is how to effectively deal with the threat of drones. signal jammer In recent years, drone jamming equipment and anti-drone systems have gradually become an important part of the defense forces of various countries, especially when dealing with large-scale military operations such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, jamming technology is particularly critical. cell phone jammer
　　How drone jamming technology works
　　The core of drone jamming technology is to interrupt the communication between drones and their ground control stations by transmitting radio jamming signals of specific frequencies, thereby forcing drones to return or crash. Jamming equipment can usually be carried and quickly deployed on the battlefield, and is simple to operate and easy to maintain. GPS jammer For example, in an exercise at the U.S. Army's Polish training base, soldiers used a handheld jamming gun called "Drone Destroyer". This device can quickly detect the presence of small commercial drones and prevent them from continuing to perform their missions by interfering with their communication systems. Wifi jammer
　　The advantages of drone jamming technology lie in its efficiency and versatility. The modern battlefield environment is complex and changeable, and traditional air defense systems such as missiles or anti-aircraft guns often have difficulty dealing with large numbers of small drones. The jammer can not only accurately strike a single target through radio wave interference, but also cover a larger area and effectively curb the cluster attack of drones.
　　U.S. military drone jamming training
　　In May 2024, in Boleslawiec, Poland, a U.S. Army unit participated in drone jamming equipment training hosted by the Texas National Guard. The training focused on how to operate the drone destroyer jammer gun, and the soldiers mastered this new technology through theoretical learning and field operations. Edgar Galvin, a soldier of the Texas National Guard, pointed out that this training is very important because even in the field of geospatial intelligence image analysis in which he is engaged, jamming equipment may be needed when facing drone threats.
　　Benjamin Richards, a fourth-level warrant officer who led the training, is an expert in air defense and missile defense systems and specializes in the design and implementation of training programs for drone interceptors. He emphasized that soldiers not only need theoretical knowledge, but also need to go through practical operations to truly master the use of jamming equipment. This training helps soldiers quickly respond to drone threats in complex battlefield environments and enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops.
　　Application of drone jamming technology around the world
　　In addition to the United States, other countries are also strengthening the research and application of drone jamming technology. For example, the Middle East has always been one of the birthplaces of drone technology. In June 2023, pilots at the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia also received similar drone jammer training. The high development and application of drone technology in Middle Eastern countries has made anti-drone technology widely concerned by the military in the region.
　　In addition, Russia relied on drone technology provided by Iran in the Russian-Ukrainian war, which further promoted the demand for anti-drone technology worldwide. Iranian drones are not only cheap but also have strong attack capabilities. How to defend against these drones has become the focus of many countries.
