Abstract
A system for deploying an electronic warfare package includes a projectile having an electronics payload for deployment in an environment. The electronics payload includes a proximity sensor and a processor and components that allow it to monitor an environment and detect objects nearby the projectile, and initiate electronic warfare functions based on a detected proximity. The electronic payload also includes components that allow it to emit electronic signals for communication and/or disruption that can interfere with or otherwise affect local communications and computing devices.
Claims9
A system for deployment of an electronic warfare package, comprising:
- a projectile comprising:
- an electronics payload comprising:
- a processor;
- an RF tuner communicatively coupled with the processor;
- an output oscillator communicatively coupled to the processor and the RF tuner;
- an input antenna communicatively coupled to the RF tuner;
- an output antenna communicatively coupled to the output oscillator;
- and
- a proximity sensor communicatively coupled to the processor;
- a power source;
- wherein the processor is programmed to:
- receive, from the proximity sensor, a signal that an object is moving in proximity to the projectile;
- generate a disruptive signal in the first frequency in response to the object is moving in proximity to the projectile;
- and
- cause the output oscillator to emit the disruptive signal via the output antenna.
A system for deployment of an electronic warfare package, comprising:
- a projectile comprising:
- an electronics payload comprising:
- a processor;
- an output oscillator communicatively coupled to the processor;
- an output antenna communicatively coupled to the output oscillator;
- a proximity sensor communicatively coupled with the processor;
- and
- a power source;
- wherein the processor is programmed to:
- receive, from the proximity sensor, a signal indicating that an object is proximate to the projectile;
- in response to the signal, generate a disruptive signal at a pre-determined frequency;
- and
- cause the output oscillator to emit the disruptive signal via the output antenna.
