Systems and methods for radio frequency hopping communications jamming utilizing software defined radio platforms

A method of jamming a communications signal, comprising:

• (a) detecting potential target signals over an RF spectrum;
• (b) comparing the potential target signals to target signals of interest contained in a content management system (CMS) database, wherein the CMS database also contains jamming signal parameters associated with each target signal of interest;
• (c) determining which of the potential targets signals are hostile target signals based, at least in part, on the comparison performed in step (b);
• (d) determining jamming signal parameters for a first hostile target signal at a first frequency;
• (e) generating a jamming signal for the first hostile target signal at the first frequency using a software defined radio (SDR) system, wherein the jamming signal incorporates the determined jamming signal parameters;
• (f) transmitting the jamming signal;
• and
• (g) generating and transmitting subsequent jamming signals for hostile target signals at other frequencies in a sequential manner in accordance with steps (b)-(f) until jamming signals have been generated and transmitted for all hostile target signals;
• wherein each jamming signal is transmitted for a predetermined period of time (“dwell time”).
