Discuss equipment and theoretical tactics for disrupting enemy communications.
Take for instance a police department that went rouge.
Simple tools and methods can make normal operations like long range patrols and helicopter air support useless if their efforts cannot be coordinated by radio.

Yo doc what kind of flux capacitor is that? And can you make a smaller one?
It's a marx generator. With just inexpensive capacitors and diodes it can make very high voltage. This can then be fed into a antenna to pump out massive amounts of RF interference.

Any reliable, concealable and efficient EMP device? Bonus point if it's easy and cheap to build.
If you can't into pics related which are middle school fuckery-tier projects (and extremely illegal if the FCC catches you intentionally building either on a larger scale), don't bother with anything past "take out the power supply." All jammers are just figuring out the signal the enemy is using and creating a signal that's preferably 180 degrees out-of-phase so that it neutralizes the original signal and doesn't leave "residue" that can be picked up by the device you don't want it to reach, then broadcasting that signal strongly enough to disrupt the enemy signal while hoping they don't just swap to a different channel or method. The issue is that usually you and your enemy operate on very similar frequencies, and this method will fuck up everything within close range to the signal you're broadcasting, not just the desired frequency (since obviously it will mix with all waves of around the same wavelength and characteristics). There's also the fact that we're developing sensors that can increasingly operate on just about any desired frequency, even visible spectra of light if you really want to.
Like I said though, realistically just take out the power supply if you want to fuck with electronics.
Typically police communicate in a similar manner to city bus drivers, that is they're tracked by GPS, they mainly use a radio, but if their radio is down they just get on their cellphone and call their boss.
Alternatively you can hook it up to make a taser instead.
I'm interested in FM capture effect. Seems like it would be less obvious to the enemy when he is under attack.
Bump, this is a great thread.
Of all of the modern fields of warfare, Zig Forums knows the least of the electronic/computational. Maybe ask Zig Forums.

What happens when the friendly neighborhood microsoft support technician calls to inform you of a critical vulnerability on your PC?
In case you're not being ironic

Has anyone ever made a high amperage taser that makes your heart shit the bed?
I was just having trying to have a laff
This. The only thing is police stations may have backup generators, but if they have to resort to that because of [bottom text] that would only last so long. Jamming signals would only be practical on broadcasting stations, but electricity would be far more damaging,
Humor is not allowed.
There is humour and then there is acting retarded. Both sometimes overlap but not here

What's with all the glownigger posting lately? If anyone was serious about a high score then they'd be interested in this thread
Military comms guy here (3d1x3), unless you're talking basic lmrs you wont be able to stop comms. And thats if its not an advanced system, if police for example are using a trunking system you're fucked. You cannot jam all the freqs that it will be hopping betwen (randomly) and dispatch/units will be transmitting/receiving on diff freqs doubling the pool. As for things like satcom (currently stationed with a satcom unit) you're sol as far as basic shit goes. Even a major military wouldn't be able to stop them without a nuclear explosion.
so a pocket nuke…. unless your can sneak that next to a base
Friendly reminder that a device like that is an extremely bright radiobeacon and it'll be trivial to find it.
Its called a Villard cascade you fucking commie not a marx fucking whatever you just said.
Nope. A Villard cascade used diodes. A marx generator used spark gaps
Russkies put stacks of flux compression generators on a rocket artillery. Single rocket releases hundreds of them and when they all go off it kills any electrical receiver in range.
They also have jammers but its only 1 per rocket.
A police department went rouge? I would’ve advocated blue a better shade for the complexion.
The spark gap would be making interference across all bands.
What do you think about aiming a HERF gun type device at the antennas to impede their ability to hear incoming signals?
If we cut these off electronic cables do they generate enough static to jam?
I'm interested in building my own version of a Stingray and cataloging all the phones around law enforcement buildings. Its a first step towards identifying undercover cops.
does a round tube of iron generate static? cut it open you'll see what I mean.
the spark gap would have very low range as power would drop very quickly as its uncontrolled. The issue with a HERF gun idea is that it would still only be specific bands and if you are close enough to the antenna to have enough power to truly impede comms then you might as well just blow the fucker up
Not if I don't want to destroy anything. It could be useful to selectively blind them and leave undetected to fight another day.
On shitty electronics that are missing that tube the wire causes radio static.
And? nobody said they were moral in their pursuits, no one even said they were wrong. They had a goal and they accomplished it.
What was the goal here?
And thus it was accomplished.
If you want quality then go down the NATO skill tree, meanwhile commies will keep pumping out OK shit that just werks, until it doesn't, and even then will be dirt cheap to replace.
If it works, USE IT!
IT'S JUST A PRANK, BRO!
Some people like to point out that operating a jammer can jam your own coms. I'd like point out that when the Russian jam, they jam everything including themselves.
And that's a perfectly valid tactic if your team is trained to handle that situation. It's just in this age of communication, most militaries can't function like that, and most militias can only function sub-par without comms.
Why do you think russians used cellphones and landlines in Georgia? Entire world laughed at them and made fun of pictures with russian commanders using flipphones, but the fact is that Georgians had zero coms for the duration of the conflict because all their coms were US supplied radios. The one counterattack Georgians had with special forces was organized independantly by the special forces commander in person.
You mean explosively pumped flux compression generators?
Nah, nothing on them at all.
And the more you jamm the more you detect stealth planes via multi-static radars…
this even happens in the navy from what ive seen first hand. last resort backup isn't anything silly like HF broadcasting or morse code via lamp – it's using a normal commercial off the shelf IRIDIUM phone
depending on what we're doing, sometimes we don't even get proper satellite access and have to go through IRIDIUM, and I've also seen "Lessons Learned" documents about fancy new underwater remote vehicles, some of which autonomous, that don't even have an option to say what they're doing over Link or some proprietary transmission method or whatever, they literally just surface and make a call through the same international satellite phone system and the operator gets a fucking SMS text message
the free market wins again
Doing what? Militias that go against conventional forces will be destroyed anyway.
That's a pretty basic level of jamming you're describing. Deceptive jamming or spoofing could probably achieve better effects with less power input.
I doubt military/police comms would be the target here - civilian stuff would be easier to hit and the resulting panic would achieve far greater effects.

That's enough Satan. You know that a guerrilla war is a very different beast to a conventional war, and militias aren't going to be fighting conventional military head-on.
Satan you do understand that a handful of CSGO players and some old afghan war vets kinda did the opposite multiple times in recent years.
well the war game is a rouge pd…..
HF is pretty fucking annoying to operate
