    Question

    As a countermeasure to drone swarm attack, which one among the following is the correct frequency range used for EM drone jamming?

    A.

    Far-infrared frequency

    B.

    Microwave frequency

    C.

    Visible frequency

    D.

    Infrared frequency

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is (b) Microwave frequency
    Explanation:
    • Most consumer and many military drones use RF links and GPS in microwave bands (e.g., 2.4 GHz, 5.8 GHz).
    • EM jammers broadcast in microwave bands to disrupt command-and-control and GNSS reception.
    • IR/visible light jamming cannot disrupt RF/GNSS communication links.
    • Effective anti-drone jamming targets those microwave bands.
    Information Booster:
    • Typical jamming bands: 2.4 GHz, 5.8 GHz, and GNSS L1/L2 frequencies.
    • Military systems may sweep or pulse across bands to counter adaptive links.
    Additional Knowledge:
    (a) Far-infrared — Used in thermal imaging, not RF jamming.
    (c) Visible frequency — Light; unsuitable for RF comms jamming.
    (d) Infrared frequency — For sensors/imaging, not primary comms disruption.
