The Deployment Drone Jammer Is Intended Counteract Aerial Threats Effectively
The introduction of a new British-made jammer could lead to aircraft and missiles entering enemy zones relying on drone jammers that operate in advance to confuse and thwart air defense capabilities.
Differing from traditional standoff jammers, which are installed on large aircraft to ensure safety while incapacitating enemy radar from a distance, Leonardo is introducing a new "standoff" jammer that is both small enough for drone integration and cost-effective for immediate use.
At the American Astronautical Society convention in Washington, Leonardo is highlighting the BriteStorm satellite, which weighs roughly 2.5 kilograms. This weight accounts for the transmit and receive modules and antennas, and the satellite is comparable in size to six Coke cans, according to representatives from the company.
Michael Lea, who holds the position of vice president of electronic warfare sales at Leonardo UK, indicated that it can be positioned at the leading edge of any force that engages in operations within enemy territory.
As per Lea's remarks, the kit is engineered to be inexpensive and intended for disposal after use, and it can be installed on large quadcopters or winged drones entering combat areas.
Should the British-made signal jammers achieve widespread adoption, it is expected that aircraft and missiles entering adversarial zones will depend on drone jammers that operate ahead of them to confuse and thwart air defense capabilities.
Standoff jammers, which are positioned on large aircraft to evade threats while incapacitating enemy radar from afar, differ significantly from the new "stand-in" jammer being introduced by Leonardo. This compact device is designed for drone mounting and is economically feasible, making it ready for prompt utilization.

Michael Lea, who holds the position of vice president of electronic warfare sales at Leonardo UK, indicated that it can play a pivotal role in any force that engages in operations within enemy territory.
As per Lea's remarks, the kit is engineered to be low-cost and disposable, designed for use on larger quadcopters or winged drones that are active in combat zones.
He explained that the asset is priced to be treated as an expendable resource, which means that if it is shot down, it will not result in serious economic repercussions or major strategic difficulties.
Upon the detection of an enemy radar signal, the system leverages Leonardo’s Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) technology to digitally capture and process the signal. The system then responds by either jamming the radar with electronic noise or spoofing it, which may involve the creation of various “ghost” fighter signatures.
Leonardo's BriteCloud utilizes the same DRFM technology, which is an expendable countermeasure meant to be launched from an aircraft to obstruct the radar guidance systems of approaching missiles.
BriteStorm makes use of three transmit-receive modules at most, covering the low, mid, and high frequency bands.
The system has been moved to the RAF Rapid Capabilities Office after being developed at Leonardo's site in Luton, UK.
Leonardo opines that BriteStorm is a notable enhancement over Raytheon’s MALD (Micro Air-Launched Decoy), which is an air-launched expendable jammer missile reportedly used in Ukraine.
Lea indicated that it outshines standoff jammers in terms of performance. "Standoff jammers are positioned predictably in the air, while standoff jammers can operate closer to the threat, providing superior maneuverability and a variety of axes to confuse and suppress the threat."
