First Claim
Patent Images
1. A tactical network dominance (TND) transceiver, comprising:
- a radio receiver configured for detecting an external radio communication link;
a radio transmitter configured for coupling to the external radio communication link; and
network-communication circuitry configured for providing cooperative transceiver functionality with at least one other TND transceiver and directing the radio transmitter and the at least one other TND transceiver to disrupt the external radio communication link.

Abstract
Ad-hoc networks employing cooperative signal processing are configured for detecting and disrupting a target radio communication network. Such ad-hoc networks are particularly useful for identifying radio communication resources, establishing radio links, and subverting an adversary'"'"'s communication capabilities in environments lacking available communication infrastructure, including battlefield environments, and locations where communication infrastructure is non-existent or has been compromised by natural disasters or terrorists attacks.
