In modern information warfare, communication countermeasures capabilities have become a key factor in determining tactical success or failure. Different configurations are required for communication countermeasures based on the size and mission characteristics of different combat units. This article focuses on the drone Backpack squad-based equipment and full-band camp-based systems, which together form a complete tactical communication countermeasures system that can meet diverse needs, from small-scale special operations to large-scale troop assembly deployments.
Introduction and Key Technical Specifications of Drone Backpack Countermeasures and Full-Band Countermeasures Systems

Deployment logic description
|
Deployment level |
Backpack drone class equipment |
Full-band camp system |
Cooperative Logic |
|
Spatial deployment |
Front-line mobile nodes, tactical team accompanying equipment |
Rear fixed nodes, core area of the camp |
Forming a "mobile + fixed" three-dimensional jamming network, the backpack drone fills the coverage gaps of the full-band system. |
|
Frequency band division |
Focus on interfering with commonly used tactical frequency bands (such as VHF/UHF) |
Covering the entire frequency band (including satellite communications, long-wave communications, etc.) |
The backpack drone is highly targeted, while the full-band system ensures no misses, forming a "point-and-surface" spectrum suppression strategy. |
|
Power allocation |
Low-power covert interference to avoid exposing the position |
High-power regional suppression, creating electromagnetic fog |
The full-band system attracts the attention of enemy electronic reconnaissance, and the backpack drone equipment performs key interference covertly. |
|
Tactical coordination |
Used for feints and precise strikes on residual nodes |
Used for main attack, large-scale communication paralysis |
After the full-band system implements the first wave of suppression, the backpack drone equipment cleans up the missed signals, forming a "sweeping" interference effect. |
|
Defense in depth |
Outer layer (mobile defense) |
Inner layer (core protection) |
The backpack drone equipment flexibly responds to sudden threats in the periphery, and the full-band system ensures absolute electromagnetic safety in the core area. |
Comparison of the Core Advantages of Drone Jammer Backpack Countermeasures and Full-Band Countermeasures Systems
Class Drone Jammer Backpack Countermeasures
|
Advantages |
Description |
|
High mobility |
The single-soldier carryweight (≤15kg) is adaptable to complex terrain, including mountainous terrain, jungles, and urban combat, allowing for rapid movement with a squad. |
|
High concealment |
Low-power jammer (10-50W) combined with LPI technology makes it difficult for the enemy to locate and suitable for infiltration operations. |
|
Precise jamming |
It can perform "surgical" suppression of specific frequency bands (such as drone control links and short-range tactical radios). |
|
Quick response |
Power-up to full readiness in ≤30 seconds, meeting the needs of sudden engagements. |
|
Independent Operational Capability |
No external power supply required, with a battery life of 4-6 hours, making it suitable for extended missions behind enemy lines. |
Camp full-band countermeasure system
|
Advantages |
Description |
|
Full-area coverage |
Full-band jamming from 1MHz to 18GHz simultaneously jams strategic targets such as satellite communications, radar, and longwave radio. |
|
Large-scale damage |
Creates an "electromagnetic dome" within a 3-5km radius, protecting an entire camp or marching column. |
|
Multi-target processing |
32 independent jamming channels counter enemy frequency-division/time-division multiple access (FDMA) communication networks. |
|
Intelligent analysis |
Generates real-time electromagnetic situation maps, automatically identifies threat levels, and recommends jamming strategies. |
|
Sustained combat |
Supports both mains and generator power, making it suitable for long-term garrison operations. |

Typical application scenarios Class
1. Drone Backpack equipment application scenarios
Special operations
(1) Block local communications (such as outpost radios and patrol contact signals) when infiltrating behind enemy lines.
(2) Shield enemy surveillance equipment (such as wireless cameras and alarm systems) during rescue operations.
Counter-terrorism/security
(1) Interfere with remote-controlled bomb trigger signals while escorting important personnel.
(2) Paralyze internal communications of terrorists during hostage rescue.
Anti-drone
(1) Implement rapid forced landing interference for consumer-grade drones (1.2GHz/2.4GHz).
Ambush
(1) Create communication blind spots in a pre-set battlefield to cut off the enemy's aid channels.
2. Camp full-band system application scenarios
Base defense
(1) Prevent enemy drone groups from conducting reconnaissance or attacks (interfere with image transmission/navigation frequency bands).
(2) Shield signals from surrounding mobile phone base stations to prevent leaks or remote detonation.
Electronic warfare center
(1)Cooperate with electronic reconnaissance systems to implement "reconnaissance-interference integrated" operations. (2) Continuous suppression of enemy command links (e.g., HF long-distance communications).
Strategic deception
(1) Simulating false electromagnetic signals to deceive enemy electronic reconnaissance forces.
Border control
(1) Blocking illegal cross-border communications (e.g., satellite phones used by smuggling gangs).
