Definition
Noun: 1. Electronic jamming over a wide range of frequencies simultaneously: A form of electronic warfare where a broad spectrum of radio frequencies is flooded with interfering signals at the same time, intended to disrupt all communications or radar systems within that range.
Usage
- Barrage jamming is a non-selective electronic countermeasure.
- The primary purpose of barrage jamming is to create a wide-area denial of the electromagnetic spectrum.
- Effective barrage jamming requires significant power to cover multiple frequencies.
Examples
- The aircraft employed barrage jamming to protect itself from enemy radar-guided missiles.
- Barrage jamming can render an entire communications network useless by saturating all its operating frequencies with noise.
- A disadvantage of barrage jamming is that it can also interfere with friendly communications.
Advanced Usage
- Technical Context: In military electronics, barrage jamming is often contrasted with "spot jamming," which targets a single, specific frequency. Barrage jamming sacrifices precision for breadth of coverage.
Variants and Related Words
- Barrage jammer (n): The electronic device or system that performs barrage jamming.
- The ship was equipped with a powerful barrage jammer.
- Electronic jamming (n): The broader category of warfare that includes barrage jamming, spot jamming, and other techniques.
