SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING, TRACKING AND IDENTIFYING SMALL UNMANNED SYSTEMS SUCH AS DRONES
A system for providing integrated detection and countermeasures against unmanned aerial vehicles include a detecting element, a location determining element and an interdiction element. The detecting element detects an unmanned aerial vehicle in flight in the region of, or approaching, a property, place, event or very important person. The location determining element determines the exact location of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The interdiction element can either direct the unmanned aerial vehicle away from the property, place, event or very important person in a non-destructive manner, or can cause disable the unmanned aerial vehicle in a destructive manner.
NARROWBAND ANTIJAM SIGNALING SYSTEM (NASS) AND DEVICE
A narrowband AJ signaling system includes an AJ processor placed between a high precision analog-to-digital (ADC) converter and a narrowband digital receiver. In another example, the AJ processor is placed between the high precision ADC and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The AJ processor of either example may suppress the jammer power down to the level of the noise floor of the system.
JAMMING WI-FI COMMUNICATIONS
An apparatus for jamming transmissions on a wireless network a signal generator and processor circuitry. The signal generator generates jamming signals. The processor circuitry demodulates a wireless signal received over the wireless network in accordance with an IEEE 802.11 standard and identifies a media access control (MAC) header within the demodulated signal. The MAC header includes a duration and at least one address. Frames are identified for jamming based on an analysis of the at least one address. When a frame for jamming is identified, a time period for jamming the wireless signal is calculated based on the duration and the signal generator is controlled to generate a jamming signal during the calculated time period.
System and method for the detection of transmission facilities
A method of detecting a transmitting device within an obstruction rich environment is disclosed. The method may involve detecting the transmitting device with a wireless transmission detection facility; communicating signal information relating to the detected transmitting device from the wireless transmission detection facility to a central unit; determining the location of the transmitting device; displaying information of the detection and location of the transmitting device through a user interface; and providing an action facility for causing actions related to the detected transmitting device.
Method for jamming synthetic aperture radars and associated device
A method for jamming airborne SAR radar implemented by a jamming device includes at least two cooperating units surrounding an area on the ground to be protected, at least two units providing a radar-detection function and at least one unit providing a radar-jamming function, each unit being interlinked by a two-way data link and being synchronized by a common clock, the method comprises a step of identifying the signals received and whether the received signals correspond to SAR signals; a step of characterizing the received SAR signal over a short duration; a step of computing a filter adapted to the signal; a step of carrying out pulse compression of the signal; a step of iteratively periodically characterizing the signal over a long duration; a step of computing the jamming signals to be transmitted; a step of transmitting the jamming signals.
Interfering radio and vehicle key locker
A jamming radio signal is outputted to interfere with an interrogation signal emitted by a vehicle for verifying a tag of a vehicle key that provides access to the vehicle. An access signal including access data is received. The output of the jamming radio signal is halted, at least temporarily, when the access data matches an access code so that the tag of the vehicle key can be authenticated.
ULTRA-WIDE BAND ELECTROMAGNETIC JAMMING PROJECTOR
A radio frequency (RF) jamming device includes a differential segmented aperture (DSA), a jammer source outputting a jamming signal at one or more frequencies or frequency bands to be jammed, and RF electronics that amplify and feed the jamming signal to the DSA so as to emit a jamming beam. The DSA includes an array of electrically conductive tapered projections, and the RF electronics comprise power splitters configured to split the jamming signal to aperture pixels of the DSA. The aperture pixels comprise pairs of electrically conductive tapered projections of the array of electrically conductive tapered projections. The RF electronics further comprise pixel power amplifiers, each connected to amplify the jamming signal fed to a single corresponding aperture pixel of the DSA. The RF jamming device may include a rifle-shaped housing, with the DSA mounted at a distal end of the barrel of the rifle-shaped housing.
Apparatuses, Methods, and Software for Secure Short-Range Wireless Communication
Apparatuses that provide for secure wireless communications between wireless devices under cover of one or more jamming signals. Each such apparatus includes at least one data antenna and at least one jamming antenna. During secure-communications operations, the apparatus transmits a data signal containing desired data via the at least one data antenna while also at least partially simultaneously transmitting a jamming signal via the at least one jamming antenna. When a target antenna of a target device is in close proximity to the data antenna and is closer to the data antenna than to the jamming antenna, the target device can successfully receive the desired data contained in the data signal because the data signal is sufficiently stronger than the jamming signal within a finite secure-communications envelope due to the Inverse Square Law of signal propagation. Various related methods and machine-executable instructions are also disclosed.
HANDHELD PORTABLE COUNTERMEASURE DEVICE AGAINST UNMANNED SYSTEMS
A portable countermeasure device is provided comprising one or more directional antennae, one or more disruption components and at least one activator. The portable countermeasure device further comprises a body having a dual-grip configuration, with the directional antennae are affixed to a removable plate on a front portion of the body. The one or more disruption components may be internally mounted within the device body. The dual-grip configuration allows an operator to use his body to steady and support the device while maintaining the antenna on target. The second grip is positioned adjacent the first grip, with the first grip angled toward the rear of the device and the second grip angled toward the front of the device. The portable countermeasure device is aimed at a specific drone, the activator is engaged, and disruptive signals are directed toward the drone, disrupting the control, navigation, and other signals to and from the drone.
