Turned out to be almost useless on the battlefield, as the Ukrainian war demonstrates. Large stations jam their own forces, and when a drone loses radio contact it either returns home or ascends higher untill contact is back. Anti-drone rifles take several minutes to work and make the user and his buddies a target for the artillery strike.

At one of the RF villages I went to in India, I saw a PoC that can measure reflections off the rotor blades to do micro-doppler analysis to identify drones from their catalog, and then their system can send protocol-aware signals to disable or confuse the drone. This is way more effective than wideband jamming.

As a PoC, it was interesting and they had only 3 drones in their catalog. I have no idea how well it'll work with a larger catalog.

In any case, this requires knowledge about your enemy drones and it's useless against unknown drones.

A ponderance I've had; why don't they make radio jamming flares? They have those great big star shells they can fire out of an artillery piece to light an area, so why don't they have a radio equivalent? Would that just blast ionizing radiation over everybody?

>A ponderance I've had; why don't they make radio jamming flares?
Flares operate in the optical bands. They also burn out and drop to the ground quickly. Radio traffic can go easily on for days. The closest good faith equivalent are jammers in balloons and drones, both exist. ARM missiles, homing in on jammers, also exist.
>They have those great big star shells they can fire out of an artillery piece to light an area, so why don't they have a radio equivalent?
Barrage jammers are old fashioned, mess up your own bands, and are defeated by more advanced waveforms. At least a drone would loiter a lot more than an artillery grenade.
>Would that just blast ionizing radiation over everybody?
No, ionizing radiation is a very different part of the EM spectrum, from UV to X-rays and gamma rays. Radios operate at the opposite end of the EM spectrum.
>>
>>101550111
I'm mainly asking if there's a chemical way to make radio signals, since you can make light with chemicals and they're all EM anyway. And yeah I know it would block everything but if you've prepared in advance to fight without radio, doesn't that give you a drop on the other guy?
How do advanced waveforms evade barrage jammers, how is that even possible? If the whole spectrum your gear can pick up is covered with crap, how would you be able to do anythong about that?
>>
>>101550259
>I'm mainly asking if there's a chemical way to make radio signals
My man, here you are beyond thinking outside the box: you have put it on fire and kicked it into a vat of fuel. I can appreciate that.
And I am all for good faith approaches, but the only way I can think of, is the use of chemical oscillators, which tends to be liquid, hazardous and won't hold well together when dispersed (if you prefer it delivered by artillery).
I have never heard it used in practice or even practical use for chemical oscillators. Those were weird things I learned about in university and never heard about since then.

I'll give you a reply on waveforms later.

>>101547618
The military industrial complex will probably start using gaymers and Steam to make parsable records of multiplayer games and then format it into tensors that neural networks can learn from. They will collect vast amounts of data and information from strategy to shooters. Then these neural networks will be used to coordinate and control vast swaths of drones with eyes and ears. Any real humans in the field will be forced to wear tracking and livefeeds, which will also give the AI additional eyes and ears. Even radio comms will be fed into its input, which it will have the ability to rapidly translate and decode if necessary.

Basically a small super computer that could fit into a shipping container will have eyes and ears on the entire localized battlefields and be able to make autonomous decisions (assuming its given autonomous control over ballistic missiles and other vehicle systems).

>waveform
OK, I am back. As for advanced waveform, the best example is the C/A signal on the L1 frequency from GPS (Navstar) satellites. The signal is already below the noise floor even without any jamming. And on the same 10 MHz wide band, there are dozens of satellites transmitting. The trick is to use code division multiplexing (CDM) where the data signals and the clocks are spread by a pseudo random sequence (PRN), and the receiver has to lock on to that PRN with the right timing, thus recovering both the clock and the data streams.
The maths is heavy but well documented on the net, in fact it is remarkable how much in depth GPS tech is published.

Next up is simple waveforms, just need to make a few figures first.

>>101556652
Next: simple but still useful waveform: CW.

The amber part is the power budget for the jammer: either wide and low power, or high power but narrow bandwidth. Jammer bandwidth is from jammer start Js to jammer end Je.
The red is the power of the signal (voice) you output, and the green is what you receive. So with enough power, you "burn through" the jammer, and can carry on the communications.
When the jammer is too powerful, the Morse code operator calmly hits CW and reaches for the key. Emitted power is now into a narrower band (100 - 200 Hz, compared to a few kHz for voice), and the filter is as tight as you can handle (too narrow and the ringing is a pain). So the transmitter burns through the jammer, and the receiver has to contend with far less noise (the yellow jamming noise received within the green area).
The more advanced Morse code operator will in brutal conditions select coherent CW and the filter is now 10 Hz and barely any noise will get through.

All of this is public knowledge, and any good radio amateur book will explain the signal to noise budget. It holds for natural noise (QRN) as well as for man made noise (QRM).
>>
>>101557558
So you can just blast strong morse through a jammer? Is there not a powerful enough jammer to stop this?
>>
>>101557558
>>101557935
Nevermind, stupid question, I thought harder. Of course if you have 2 of the 'most powerful ever' transmitters the one blasting simple morse through will have an easier time than the one trying to block the whole band.

>>101547618
I had the chance to be part of this when I was in the army, but opted for other comms work. Wish I had of joined an EW unit.

Yes, as long as the jammer is not directly on top of you.
>Is there not a powerful enough jammer to stop this?
Point jammers can be a problem, but the trick on the HF band is to hide.

Some numbers:
CW: 1 kW power into 100 Hz is 10 W/Hz. That doesn't sound like much. The jammer doesn't know where you will pop up and has to do barrage jamming over wide bands:
Jammer, monster class: 1 MW into 1 MHz is just 1 W/Hz. It will kill most voice comms, but the operators will laugh in Morse code.

Spread spectrum, narrow band and directional.

If you mechanically aim a shielded 40 dbi antenna at a satellite, what the fuck is a jammer supposed to do? The only signal which gets to the receiver needs to diffract around the shielding.

The jammer could be directed to the same satellite and hope to overload the receiver inputs. A large jamming station can drown the output from a mobile unit.
It is known that various countries try to blind photo reconaissance satellistes with hihgj power lasers. It is reasonable to assume they try the same with satellite communication systems. Aviation Week (?) posted years ago that China tried to jam US drone radio traffic.
