DARPA Wants Extreme Wireless Interference Buster 105
coondoggie writes "This month the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency will begin looking for technology that will let wireless communications work through the most extreme interference. From the article: 'The CommEx program will assess next generation and beyond jamming threats and then develop advanced interference suppression and avoidance technologies to successfully communicate in the presence of severe, traditional, and novel types of interference that are orders-of-magnitude more severe than what are currently addressed by the most advanced systems, DARPA stated.'"

they could come up with some kind of missile designed to go after transmitters broadcasting interference, they'd be pretty loud and easy to spot.
of course this is probably for drone tech so if you armed a drones as such and programmed them to attack the transmitters if their command channel was blocked the first thing any amoral adversary would do would be to stick an interference transmitter in a preschool with a camera crew nearby.
