Definition

Technique to limit the effectiveness of an opponents communications and / or detection equipment.

A device used in electronic warfare to inhibit or halt the transmission of signals.

Jamming Methodology

Methods of Operation Disable Cell Site

Advantage: None. All traffic within the

cell site coverage is disabled including including friendly

traffic. Disable Handset

Advantage: Only handsets within jammer range is affected. Friendly traffic outside jammer range continues.

Jamming Methodology

How it works Jammer continuously transmits

noise on handset receive frequency

Handset cannot receive control data from cell site

Handset is disabled. Will not detonate

Jammer Frequency Bands CDMA

860 MHz – 885 MHz GSM

925 MHz – 965 MHz DCS, PHS, PCS

1800 MHz – 1950 MHz

Application Control Inmate

communication Inmates are encouraged to

use D.O.C. provided pay phones.

Inmates are restricted from conducting “business transactions” during incarceration.

Inmates are restricted from contacting each other during coordinated uprisings.

Crisis Negotiation

Application To control communication

from perpetrator to outside. Keeps perp. from knowing

SWAT / Police actions and locations.

Forces perp. to use “drop phone” to negotiate release.

Keeps perp. from calling media to gain recognition.

Keeps perp. from calling victim(s) family and placing demands.

Keeps perp. from calling or receiving calls from accomplices.

Crisis Negotiation

Deployment CJ7A, CJ9A, CJ10A

Remove equipment from case

CRISIS NEGOTIATIONS

DEPLOYMENT PCJ7A, PCJ8A, PCJ9A

Open case Aim Flip one switch

The IED Threat

IEDs Designed to cause injury or death

using Explosives, toxic chemicals,

biological toxins or radiological material

They’re produced in various sizes, functioning methods, containers, and delivery methods

They can be almost anything with any type of material and initiator

The IED Challenge consists of Convoy Protection & Explosive

Ordinance Disposal

Cellular Bomb Detonation

“After tragedies, cellular networks are typically jammed with calls from people checking on friends and family. Wireless companies say they need to consider the interests of paying customers but ultimately would comply with a government request to go dark. But a shutdown could also hinder emergency personal and government officials, many of whom rely on wireless phones and pagers.” – Wall Street Journal August 12, 2005, Dionne Searcey

In Israel, government officials recently have been less inclined to shut down entire networks as they

increasingly rely on jamming devices designed to block communications over a short range, according to security

experts.” – Wall Street Journal August 12, 2005, Dionne Searcey

IED Characteristics

IEDs share a common set of components and consist of the following: An initiation system or fuse Explosive fill A detonator A power supply for the detonator A container

These commonalities allow for the creation and deployment of effective countermeasures
