French Military Seeks Radio Receivers / Jammers

The French Defence Ministry has a tender out for radio jammers that can be drone-mounted. The government's Defence Innovation Agency has put out a request for proposals in search of a small, low-power warfare device that can find radio communication transmitters while mounted on a fixed or rotary-wing drone and possibly disable the signals through jamming. Proposals were due no later than the 18th of January and demonstrations of prototypes will follow over the course of the next seven months.

The devices are expected to be capable of detecting any number of transmitters operating between 30 MHz and 6 GHz and able to transmit their findings in real-time to a receiving station on the ground. Bidding is being limited to companies within the European Union.
