The following is a release from Leslie Ozawa and the U.S. Army:

The Army Threat Systems Management Office, or TSMO, team visited the National Training Center, Dec. 2, to demonstrate electronic jamming technologies recently developed at their Redstone Arsenal office in Alabama.

TSMO electronics engineer Curtis Leslie said the team was present to brief National Training Center senior leaders how the small, direct inject jammers can be programmed on cue to simulate jamming of radio signals used for electronic detection and communications during battlefield training scenarios.

“We can install them in tactical vehicles – Humvees, 5-ton trucks,” Leslie said. “Our injection jammers can be used in lieu of open air jamming.”

The jammer box is installed between the antennae and a radio transceiver. It can be programmed to digitally produce different kinds of jamming signals when cued by a simple line-of-sight signal sent remotely by an observer-controller-trainer.

Leslie said that a typical jammer transmitter broadcasting live over “public” air waves requires military, Federal Communications Commission or Federal Aviation Administration agency approvals, which often limit jamming to late night and early morning hours. He said that while the injection jamming concept is not new, recent technological …Read the Rest
