This topic addresses the need for affordable and scalable jamming capabilities leveraging sUAS swarms. Instead of focusing on individual, high-power jammers, this STTR seeks to develop a collaborative jamming approach using multiple sUAS equipped with low-cost phased array antennas. The key innovation is the development of a low-cost phased array antenna system that can be precisely controlled to focus jamming energy on specific targets. By coordinating the signals from multiple sUAS in a swarm, the effective jamming power can be significantly increased. The focus on low to medium-sized swarms (3-7 units) allows for manageable coordination and control strategies. This approach offers several advantages over traditional jamming techniques, including: • Increased jamming effectiveness through beamforming. • Improved resilience through redundancy. • Reduced risk of detection and counter-attack. • Lower cost compared to high-power jamming systems.
