Why can’t they just send a high powered signal within the ranges of where these ied devices are and remotely trigger them to go off (if they are there)? Take all the RC freq’s and cell phone freqs and send a sweeping signal up and down the ranges and see if you can’t cause it to blow up?
With cell phones it is a bit more complicated because it takes a coded signal to make a cell phone ring.
On the other hand they may be able to use microwaves to burn out the electronics. But they would also burn out any other electronics close by.
>>“They're using a huge variety of cheaply available stuff.” One recent innovation is IED detonators made from battery-powered doorbells. The doorbells consist of crude 400-kilohertz transmitters and receivers. “They're sloppy as hell, but they are really hard to jam,” Husick says.<
