Abstract
A handheld, man-portable countermeasure device can include a directional antenna and signal disruption components in electronic communication with the directional antenna. The signal disruption components can include a signal generator coupled to an amplifier. The countermeasure device can include a computing device coupled to an electronic communications transceiver. The computing device can provide, via the electronic communications transceiver, at least one bilateral communication link to operatively connect with a UAV tracking system. The computing device can determine status information associated with the electronic circuitry of the countermeasure device. The computing device can transmit, via the bilateral communication link, the status information to the UAV tracking system.
