Black Shadow Smart jammer Full bandwidth coverage 20

Black Shadow
Smart jammer
Full bandwidth coverage
20 MHz / 2500 MHz
Power amplifier box
Interception & jamming box
Application Field


The black Shadow is designed to ensure
protection against RC-IEDs as well as
for telecommunications jamming (GSM,
DAMPS, CDMA2000, UMTS, Thuraya,
Iridium…), both in terms of interception
(limited to characterization) and
generation of counter measures
(neutralization)
Enabling a 80 m security bubble for
convoy protection

Aim of jamming : to prevent
communications by electromagnetic means,
or at least to degrade communications
sufficiently to cause delays in transmission
and reception

Remote control / command software :

Wideband panoramic visualization

Easy mission configuration

Integrated Built In Test
Automatic failure mode management to
ensure the protection function

System overview
The Black Shadow deals with the following
operational concepts:
 Offensive jamming :
 Main
target
:
Coordination
communication
 Associated key words :
 Jamming Range (up to several 1 km)
 Usually Active or smart
 DOA + GPS point
 Characterization

Defensive jamming:
 Main target
: Radio Controlled
Improvised Explosive Device
 Associated key words :
 Protection bubble (20 to 100 m)
depending on the field application
area
 Reactivity : adapted to the fastest
communications
 Could be active or reactive/smart
 Detecting a threat + GPS point
No ITAR components

Two ventilated cabinets
GAM EG13 for choc and vibration regards to
wheeling vehicle.
IP 53 (dust and rain protection)
Water-resistant under 1 m for transport
Temperature -10 ° C to 55 °C
Weight per cabinet < 35 kg
Form factor 36 cm * 46 cm * 58 cm
Power supply Alimentation : 24 VDC
Power consumption : < 2200W
The operational advantages of the Black Shadow are:
 Counter measure improvement according to:
 The power received (the weaker the reception,
the stronger the emission must be as the shooter
or terrorist is surely hidden)
 The geographical position (if the convoy
changes country, the jammer has to reconfigure
automatically to ensure adaptation to potential
threats of the new country)
 The identified communication
 Reduced exposure of humans as the intelligent
jammer only jams when necessary.
 Furtiveness and non-repeatability: the jammer, by
only reacting when necessary, becomes reactive: it
detects, classifies and neutralizes very rapidly (this
time is the critical data element for this type of
jammer!).
 Cohabitation with other telecom systems. The
jammer is capable of differentiating the various
communications and therefore of classifying them:
friend or foe.
 Continuous spectrum monitoring between 20 MHz
& 2.5 GHz (Options 6 GHz &/or 18GHz)
 Instantaneous engagement of specific counter
measures between 20 MHz and 2.5 GHz
 Optimal management of the protection bubble
(range increase). It becomes totally dynamic as the
jammer automatically manages the available power
according to current threats and threats not detected
yet.
 The Black Shadow can operate as an hybrid jammer:
 Active and / or reactive
 Mimicry (operation possible with other jammers
active or reactive)
