In the context of jamming, the paramount consideration is power. Essentially, if the signals from the pilot and the GPS are sufficiently robust for the drone to demodulate and decode them despite the interference caused by the uav jammer, the jamming efforts will be rendered ineffective. It is likely that any stationary omnidirectional or directional jammer will be situated on the airfield, while the unauthorized drone operator will probably be located beyond the airfield's perimeter.

When the drone operates within the boundaries of the airfield, the strength of the signal received by the pilot diminishes as the distance increases. Conversely, as the drone approaches, the impact of the jamming signal on the drone intensifies.

Consequently, the effectiveness of jamming, in theory, is contingent upon the position of the jammer relative to the geographical area it is intended to cover, provided there is an unobstructed line of sight. However, as previously mentioned, any devices functioning on the four pertinent frequencies will experience interference.

Airports typically feature extensive and frequently irregularly shaped perimeters. Consequently, when employing fixed jammer gps, whether omnidirectional or directional, it may be necessary to utilize several units to adequately encompass the airport's expanse. This principle applies universally to all solutions, as each possesses a defined operational range; however, certain systems demonstrate greater efficacy by employing alternative methods. Particularly in the case of larger airports, it is often essential to implement multiple systems to ensure comprehensive coverage of the designated area.

An alternative approach involves utilizing targeting jammers in conjunction with fixed jammers to address coverage gaps, or, as a sole jamming solution, deploying a qualified and authorized security or police quick reaction force (QRF).

The configuration of an airport, which includes runways, taxiways, aprons, peritracks, and access roads, presents significant challenges. The substantial power needed to effectively jam a drone, along with the vast expanse of the airport, suggests that the security or police Quick Reaction Force will likely need to navigate across the airport to reach a suitable location for deploying the jammer.

The situation is further complicated by the unpredictable nature of the drone's flight path, necessitating that the jammer operator must aim and activate the device at the drone once it approaches sufficiently, irrespective of the angle. Unlike lasers that produce a precise beam, handheld targeting jammers emit a cone of radio frequency energy, which can vary between approximately 40° and 90°, potentially impacting other equipment within that range.
