JDAMit anyway!
To: MeeknMing
I suspect the military has given thought to this. Wouldn't be surprised if jamming turns out to be a little more difficult than the Iraquis think.
Encoded GPS signals?

Gee, what a shock. Perhaps you isolationist butt kissers can ask what they would do with those. Having been there, done that, all I can say is if we don't clean the rat's nest out now, we can mop up the bodies in the U.S.A. later...those bastards are here. Wake up and smell the coffee...

Jammers are great targets!

Yes, but they don't have anything to Jam the dumb-bombs that come raining out of the B-52's.
Also, I'm not sure about the report. If so, we just get the manufacturers from Russia to help us develop a counteraction to these "jammers".

I'm sure that everyone is aware that jammers make great beacons for locking on radio frequency tracking missiles.
The best electronic counter counter measure (ECCM) is a BOMB.

Use missiles from ships, aircraft or predator drones to home in on the GPS jammers and blow them up OR use laser guided munitions in areas with the GPS jammers.

I hope operators are still proficient and equipped with laser guided weapons. I seem to remember an old saying about all your eggs in one basket, I hope it doesn't apply to our U.S. Air Force.

A smart EE can make a jammer with components from RadioShack. Buying them just shortens the procurement cycle.
Every jammer is an emitter. Every emitter is a target. Ask the guys who operate the SAMs. Every measure has a counter. Every counter has a counter-counter.
It's all part of the mission planning.

GASP!
WHAT!?!
Our FRIENDS the Russians? helping our enemies the iraqis? But, but why?
shoes are dropping like a rain in seattle during storm season.
Iraq, Iran, N. Korea, Cuba, Venezuela and virtually ALL the third world trouble sites... former commie satellites and client states... THIS is the "cold war dividend".
the cold war dividend is more expensive then the war itself was. NOW we have to clean up the messes that Clintong refused to... after all, the soviets and their clientstates were and still ARE his heros.
Jimmy C, Billy the sink, and hilly the sk##nky one, are all part of the old socialist block... and like good team players, set us up... the bomb... for their comrades in arms, the soviets, the chinreds and the northkorea types.
Cleanup on aisle... on aisle... well dammit, pretty much every darn aisl there is.
Rummy and Condi to the cleanup office please.
To: Blueflag
Bring it on Sadamm...lite up the nite sky with those chirpy jammers and just see what happens next
To: knak
I don't want to change the subject ....but who sold the Iraqis missile engines that Blix mentioned today..
Wonder if the missile parts were part of this here Jammer deal..
