| Source measurement | The device can be carried by one person. The operator points the device at the UAV and activates it to disrupt the UAV's communications out to a range of 3–5 km (2–3 mi), as well as its satellite navigation capabilities. Depending on the UAV's level of autonomy , it may then fall out of the sky, make a controlled landing, return to an earlier waypoint, or continue operating normally.[source]EDM4S · Description; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The device can have 4 or 6 antennas. By default there are two antennas for the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequency bands, with a power of 10 W each, one antenna for the GPS 1.5 GHz band with a power of 10 W, and one antenna for the GLONASS 1.5 GHz band with a power of 10 W.[source]EDM4S · Description; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The device is made of aluminium , with the "gun" portion being modelled after the Heckler & Koch G36 rifle – including a trigger to activate the device and optics for sighting.
