Methods For Developing Jam-Resistant Security Communications Networks at Fixed-Site Facilities

Considerable work has been done identifying and developing equipment and procedures that can be used to improve the survivability of a security communications network during a jamming assault. Insight is given into alternate communications methods that can be used to develop resistance to jamming by supplementing existing radio communications. The spatial properties of jamming are then discussed and examples of how these properties can be exploited are examined. Also discussed are spread-spectrum radios that are highly resistant to jamming and the importance of jamming exercises.
