You're not going to be able to. They are extremely hardened against that. Even if you managed to scramble one frequency they will automatically quick switch to another. You have no chance of "scrambling" a military drone.
they already hop frequencies as SOP. Invented by a WOMAN movie star from old timey days I think.
Thanks for the info. Just curious if it was possible.
You'll also not be able to use any type of communication device available to a civilian. Packs were deployed in Afghanistan to jam against IED. Things evolved from there.
Most military drones are COTS. Jamming is easy. It's the high flying, less common, UAVs which you're not going to effect.
Drones range from tiny short range scouts like AV Raven to huge Glogal Hawk. Besides target drones, all of them have a Ground Control Station component which is linked by radio telemetry to the aerial vehicule and sensors. Every radio signal can be jammed, altough this comes impractical because the jammed drone will fly away to a standby point away from your jamming source; and they can use several frequencies to communicate with their base. But to answer his question, yes all drones are affected by jamming but its definitely not easy. The military have had several decades of dealing with jamming and battlefield communications are pretty good.
No. The low end stuff is basically beefed first stuff. I personally know some drone guys.
The higher end stuff uses sat and spread spectrum. It's used because it's hard for nation states to jam it.
Every radio signal can be jammed, although this comes impractical because the jammed drone will fly away to a standby point away from your jamming sourc
That just means jamming is good* specifically for area denial*, which is important because the u.s. government isn't above drone bombing us citizens. Well I mean, it is 'above' doing that--it's kinda how drones work, but I digress. And worse, drones are super effective against pretty much all other means of conventional warfare, including insurgency, at least when the government can turn around and blame its mistakes, through a complicit media organ, on say, terrorism. So in a hypothetical showdown between the u.s. government (or western governments) and their own citizens, disabling their drones would be a priority above all others.
More generally, standby points are an exploitable weakness, assuming they're reused. Zone deny an area? Watch for the standby or drone rally point. Move into position. Repeat zone denial. Wait for the denied drones to arrive. Surface to air weaponry or anti-drone weaponry to take out the drone--hypothetically speaking.
Also, unless they're using HAM to bounce signals of the atmosphere, they'll have to remain within a very specific range of the drone, so if you know which frequency range the controlling unit is using (assuming it isn't satellite based), and you know some trig, and some spotters, the hypothetical militia and hypothetically use hypothetically improvised mortars IRA style to hypothetically send a friendly reminder to the hypothetical rogue military elements breaking their oaths, that it is unwise and unsafe to their individual persons to drone the citizenry, and that the citizenry do not like when their own police or military break their oaths to follow unlawful commands.
Hypothetically speaking.
You're not going to be able to. They are extremely hardened against that.
household microwaves are cool
radios that blast out on all frequencies at once are even cooler, though I hear thats just a rumor.
