Jamming Drones: The Physics of the Wearable Skylock Kit
Skylock's Wearable Kit is a compact RF counter-drone system now in operational service — detecting hostile drones out to two kilometers and jamming out to three, with Ukrainian troops, the US Army in Europe, and the IDF in Gaza all using it. But how does jamming actually work when drones hop frequencies and spread their signals thin? This episode unpacks the inverse-square law, signal-to-noise ratios, FHSS and DSSS, and the barrage-versus-spot jamming tradeoff — and explains why jamming range is structurally longer than detection range. Same equation, evaluated in two directions. Episode 5747…
