Portable drone jammer uses a Raspberry Pi tactical Software Defined Radio

Raspberry Pi.

What makes a Raspberry Pi project tactical? Maker and developer Media-Grizzly has their own ideas with this cool, portable Pi-powered software-defined radio (SDR) system they built from scratch dubbed the D.E.S.E.R.T Pi-Powered Tactical System. Not only does it work as a handy SDR on the go, it doubles as a drone jammer that can disable nearby drones with the flip of a switch. It's got a handful of features with plenty of room for modification in the future.

Media-Grizzly's D.E.S.E.R.T Pi-Powered Tactical System is housed in a portable case with a decent selection of hardware to play around with. We don't have a full build list yet but we can see a nice, laser-engraved faceplate encompassing a keyboard, power LED, USB port, and an LCD display in the middle. However, the most tempting input of all is the big red switch in the corner labeled "DE-AUTH".
