Radio controlled IED's continue to be a great challenge in theater. This proposal will address the development of an effective low band (HF) jammer to prevent against such future low frequency threats. The challenges of designing an effective mobile low band jammer is integrating an appropriate HF antenna, minimizing the harmonics and spurious, and filtering strong co-channel interferers. NetworkFab has built both HF surgical reactive jammers, as well as RCIED jammers (for VHF/UHF targets) in the past. All that prior experience and knowledge will be brought to bear on this SBIR effort. NetworkFab proposes to combine together our product technologies, our extensive antenna design experience, and our knowledge of RCIED's, to provide an advanced RCIED Low Band Jammer design.
Benefits:-The development of an effective low band (HF) jammer to prevent future low frequency threats. -Spurious and harmonic content are minimized to prevent against fratricide of Blue Force Communications
