Which item is NOT considered one of the three essential jammer capabilities?

• A. Frequency
• B. Power
• C. Access
• D. Latency

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that effective SEW jamming hinges on three core abilities: hitting the correct frequency band, delivering enough power to overwhelm the target signal, and actually having access to place interference on the target channel. If the jammer’s frequency doesn’t match the target, there’s nothing for the target to interfere with. If the power isn’t strong enough, the interference won’t degrade the link’s performance. If the jammer can’t access the channel—due to distance, obstructions, or regulatory limits—no interference can be injected at all. Latency, while it can affect how quickly a jammer responds to changes, is not a fundamental capability needed to perform jamming. It’s a timing/processing characteristic, not a required tool to create interference.
