The dismounted electronic jamming system launched by the U.S. Army in recent years provides a more efficient and flexible solution for signal jamming and intelligence collection on the battlefield.cell phone jammer This system, called TLS-BCT (Layered Ground System-Brigade Combat Team), can locate, detect and even jam enemy signals while marching, and is suitable for infantry use in complex terrain and rapidly changing battlefield environments.GPS jammer The U.S. Army accelerated the development of the system after signing a contract with defense company CACI and its subsidiary Mastodon Design LLC. In order to achieve rapid deployment, the Army directly cited the Beast+ and Kraken systems already in use by the Special Operations Forces (SOCOM). This move not only saves development costs and time, but also allows ordinary soldiers to use advanced equipment that was originally deployed by special forces first.signal jammer

　　1. System Introduction and Advantages

　　TLS-BCT System Overview

　　The TLS-BCT system was originally conceived based on the Stryker armored vehicle platform and was used in brigade-level combat units. Wifi jammerAfter improvements, the system now has high flexibility and portability, and can even be carried and operated by infantry units alone. drone jammerThe system includes two types of jammers: Beast+ and Kraken. Beast+ is a small backpack-type electronic jammer that weighs about 20 pounds and can be disassembled into a handheld mode for locating and jamming target signals.GSM jammer In contrast, Kraken is a more powerful vehicle-mounted system that not only has strong analytical capabilities, but can also process signals in a wider range, which is four times the processing power of Beast+. Kraken can be disassembled and loaded into a backpack as needed to ensure that it provides stronger electronic warfare capabilities without affecting the mobility of soldiers.

　　2. Simplify the R&D process and quickly deploy

　　Introduction of special forces recording procedures

　　The Army decided to use the existing technology of special forces in the early stages of the project, and with the help of its existing SOCOM system, it accelerated the development and testing process of TLS-BCT. Probert, the executive in charge of the project at CACI, said that the system has been proven effective in the actual battlefield of special forces, so before it is officially put into use, the Army does not need to conduct complex soldier tests, but only needs to make some upgrades and adaptive adjustments to the software. The hardware, weight, adaptability and ease of operation of the system have been tested many times by special forces to ensure its effectiveness in actual environments.

　　Equipment miniaturization and flexibility

　　As battlefield requirements become more diverse and complex, the U.S. Army has realized that electronic warfare platforms that rely on armored vehicles or large vehicle-mounted systems can no longer fully meet modern combat needs. Especially in the Pacific island chains and forested areas, the small and portable TLS Manpack can help infantrymen flexibly adapt to environmental changes. Probert pointed out that this device has the best portability among all similar devices, and it also supports parachuting operations, can customize signal detection or interference modes on demand, and has extremely high adaptability.

　　Innovative mission adaptability design

　　The design flexibility of TLS Manpack allows soldiers to configure it according to mission requirements instead of a fixed hardware combination. As a software-defined radio device, TLS Manpack can quickly adapt to new tasks, and can update and add new functions through software instead of relying on the replacement of hardware modules. This design not only reduces the overall weight of the equipment, but also reduces the burden on soldiers in operation.

　　III. Integration with conventional forces and future prospects

　　The U.S. Army plans to conduct a combat demonstration of the system in November, and then enter the formal production stage. According to project manager Strayer, the first batch of system orders is expected to be between 30 and 50 sets. The Army also plans to purchase more systems in the form of "no fixed quantity contract" in the next five years to further enhance brigade-level electronic warfare capabilities.
