Barrage jamming is characterized by ...

• A. Spot jamming
• B. Barrage jamming
• C. Swept-spot jamming
• D. Deception jamming

Answer: (B)

Barrage jamming is defined by spreading interference energy across a wide range of frequencies at once, creating a broad, high-noise environment that masks signals throughout the band. This simultaneous broad-spectrum attack makes it hard for a receiver to pick out any legitimate transmissions, rather than just targeting a single channel. In contrast, spot jamming concentrates power on one frequency to blind a specific channel, sweeping-spot jams move a narrowband jammer across frequencies over time, and deception jamming attempts to mislead by sending false or misleading signals. The key idea is that barrage jamming floods the spectrum with interference right across the band, leaving little usable signal left anywhere within that range.
