Abstract
handheld, man-portable countermeasure device is disclosed comprising at least one directional antenna and at least one signal disruption component in electronic communication with the at least one directional antenna. The signal disruption component, may be external to the body and contained within a backpack of an associated user or it may be mounted in the body. The signal disruption component may comprise a signal generator and an amplifier coupled to the signal generator. The device includes a hand-held form factor body, and an activator communicatively coupled to the at least one signal disruption component.
