Hey everyone! I'm looking for some help and guidance on building an omnidirectional drone jamming device that can disable drones within at least a 50-meter radius. I want to power it with a battery and need advice on the necessary concepts and parts involved. Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve got to warn you, buddy, jamming signals like this is illegal in most places. The RF waves you emit can interfere with other devices, not just drones, and that could easily bring law enforcement your way. Many people who try to build these use directional antennas instead of omnidirectional ones, which are a lot less risky. Just something to consider before you dive in!
Interesting topic! I heard that in Ukraine, they used fiber optics for countering drones. It’s a different approach completely. Could you expand on that, though? I’m curious how fiber relates to this whole jamming situation.
Sure! Fiber optics can be used for secure communications that aren’t easily intercepted or jammed. It’s not jamming per se, but it’s a way around RF issues.
Yeah, I’d rethink this idea if I were you. A 50-meter radius isn’t realistic for a personal project, especially without getting into serious legal trouble. Instead, you might want to look into drone detection systems, which are legal and a lot safer to explore.
Totally agree! I used to work in telecom, and we would take interference issues seriously. If you jam signals, the authorities won’t hesitate to step in!
