Agenda  Definition  Methodology  Frequency Bands  Legal Considerations  Applications  Correctional Facilities  Crisis Negotiators  IED Countermeasures  Antenna Systems Products  Q & A

Definition  Technique to limit the effectiveness of an opponents communications and / or detection equipment.  A device used in electronic warfare to inhibit or halt the transmission of signals.

Jamming Methodology  Methods of Operation  Disable Cell Site  Advantage: None. All traffic within the cell site coverage is disabled including including friendly traffic.  Disable Handset  Advantage: Only handsets within jammer range is affected. Friendly traffic outside jammer range continues.

Jamming Methodology  How it works  Jammer continuously transmits noise on handset receive frequency  Handset cannot receive control data from cell site  Handset is disabled. Will not detonate  Jammer Frequency Bands  CDMA  860 MHz – 885 MHz  GSM  925 MHz – 965 MHz  DCS, PHS, PCS  1800 MHz – 1950 MHz

Jamming Methodology  3G  2100 MHz – 2200 MHz  Custom  FRS (460 MHz)  Paging (900 MHz)  Garage door (300 MHz)  Wi-Fi (2.4 & 5.8 GHz)  Satellite Phone  GPS L1  Custom / Customer Specified

Legal Considerations  State / Municipal  FCC  Patriot Act  National Response Plan  Federal  NTIA  Patriot Act  National Response Plan

Legal Considerations  FCC Communications Act of 1934  Patriot Act of 2004  Signed by Commissioner Powell 2004 on behalf of the FCC  National Response Plan  Homeland Security Act of 2002  Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief & Emergency Assistance Act  The Public Health Security & Bioterrorism Preparedness & Response Act of 2002

Jammer Applications Security  Assassination  Attempts Department of  Defense Facilities High Risk Hostage  Negotiations Bomb Squads  Nuclear Power  Plants Prisons  Troop and Supply  Transport Border Security  Privacy  Department of  Defense Facilities Conference Rooms  Design /  Manufacturing Facilities Religious Centers  Educational Facilities  Laboratories 

Correctional Facilities  Application  Control Inmate communication  Inmates are encouraged to use D.O.C. provided pay phones.  Inmates are restricted from conducting “business transactions” during incarceration.  Inmates are restricted from contacting each other during coordinated uprisings.

Correctional Facilities  Entry of Communication Devices  Smuggling  Visitor Body Cavities  Facility Personnel  Packages  Theft

SOLUTIONS  SEARCHES  Continuous  Man hours required  DETECTORS  Effectiveness?  JAMMERS  If the cell phones don’t operate, there is no demand

DESIGN  OBJECTIVE: Efficiently jam selected areas without effecting outside areas  METHOD:  Detailed Sketch  Prelim Engineering Plan  Antenna types, Power levels  Site Survey  Spectrum analysis  Building construction analysis  Site Test with Jammer  Spectrum analysis  Map out jammer coverage

Correctional Facilities  Considerations  Technologic  Central / Decentralized Distribution  One high power unit  Fiber / Coax  Remote Controlled  Remote switching  Interference  Public Safety 800 MHz Trunked  Wireless Door Entry Systems  Wireless Backup Alarms  Wireless Panic Buttons  Wireless Inmate Tracking Systems

Crisis Negotiation  Application  To control communication from perpetrator to outside.  Keeps perp. from knowing SWAT / Police actions and locations.  Forces perp. to use “drop phone” to negotiate release.  Keeps perp. from calling media to gain recognition.  Keeps perp. from calling victim(s) family and placing demands.  Keeps perp. from calling or receiving calls from accomplices.

Crisis Negotiation  Deployment  CJ7A, CJ9A, CJ10A  Remove equipment from case  Erect tripod  Mount and point antenna  Connect cabling  Power on

CRISIS NEGOTIATIONS  DEPLOYMENT  PCJ7A, PCJ8A, PCJ9A  Open case  Aim  Flip one switch

The IED Threat  IEDs  Designed to cause injury or death using  Explosives, toxic chemicals, biological toxins or radiological material  They’re produced in various sizes, functioning methods, containers, and delivery methods  They can be almost anything with any type of material and initiator  The IED Challenge consists of  Convoy Protection & Explosive Ordinance Disposal

Cellular Bomb Detonation “After tragedies, cellular networks are typically jammed with calls from people checking on friends and family. Wireless companies say they need to consider the interests of paying customers but ultimately would comply with a government request to go dark. But a shutdown could also hinder emergency personal and government officials , many of whom rely on wireless phones and pagers.” – Wall Street Journal August 12, 2005, Dionne Searcey In Israel, government officials recently have been less inclined to shut down entire networks as they increasingly rely on jamming devices designed to block communications over a short range , according to security experts.” – Wall Street Journal August 12, 2005, Dionne Searcey

IED Characteristics  IEDs share a common set of components and consist of the following:  An initiation system or fuse  Explosive fill  A detonator  A power supply for the detonator  A container  These commonalities allow for the creation and deployment of effective countermeasures

BOMB SQUAD  Deployment  CJ7A, CJ9A, CJ10A  Remove equipment from case  Connect cabling  Power on
