Drones as a platform for, and not just the target of, electronic warfare means that the sight of a flying robot overhead could signal incoming strikes as well as a sudden inability to call for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRussia has been using a UAV-mounted cellphone jammer for a number of years now,\u201d said Samuel Bendett, a research analyst at the Center for Naval Analyses. The drones operate in a two- or three-vehicle pod with a ground station, collectively grouped as a \u201cLeer-3\u201d system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen these UAVs fly in teams, one acts as a signal-and-comms relay while another acts as a jammer,\u201d Bendett said. \u201cThese Leer-3 systems have been around for about two years at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is changed is the range of the jammer. The Orlan-10 drones already have a range of 75 miles, which means that, with the latest update on the jammer, the drone pod can interfere with signals up to 135 miles away from where the drone was launched. <a href=\"http:\/\/tass.com\/defense\/1029414\">TASS reports<\/a> that the 60-mile range is a 3.5 times increase in distance from the initial range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, Bendett said there\u2019s a chance this capability, or an earlier version of it, has already been witnessed in conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUkrainian forces claim to spot Leer-3 systems in eastern Ukraine, while there is potential evidence that Leer-3 was used in Syria as well,\u201d Bendett said. \u201cRussian forces are constantly training with Leer-3 UAVs as they practice adversary signal and cell comms suppression, identification and eventual destruction of the enemy force. In fact, this kind of training is part of the official [tactics, techniques and procedures] in electronic warfare and other forces across the Russian military.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Advancements in electronic warfare are one of the key components guiding the development of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/electronic-warfare\/2018\/11\/15\/to-understand-autonomous-weapons-think-about-electronic-warfare\/\">autonomous systems<\/a> for the military. For now, drones are conducting electronic warfare against cellular communications, but it\u2019s not hard to imagine the same doctrines applied with new technology. In that scenario, it easy to picture other vehicles transforming into jamming machines on future battlefields &#8230; and maybe even present ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Expect to see more robots conducting electronic warfare in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":69077,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":27,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[33,27],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3144],"class_list":["post-31349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home","category-unmanned"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"FGF43RAYCBHMXAKNY3DDU3WCOA","arc_canonical_url":"\/newsletters\/unmanned-systems\/2018\/11\/16\/russian-drones-can-jam-cell-phones-60-miles-away\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Russian drones can jam cellphones 60 miles away - Defense News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Expect to see more robots conducting electronic warfare in the future.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/newsletters\/unmanned-systems\/2018\/11\/16\/russian-drones-can-jam-cell-phones-60-miles-away\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Russian drones can jam cellphones 60 miles away\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Expect to see more robots conducting electronic warfare in the future.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/unmanned\/2018\/11\/16\/russian-drones-can-jam-cell-phones-60-miles-away\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Defense News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-11-16T21:23:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T18:19:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Kelsey D.
