The JC3-2530 is a compact, high-performance VHF/UHF Jammer Collinear Antenna specifically engineered for the 2500–3000 MHz S-band spectrum. Optimized for both NATO vehicular and man-portable (man-pack) applications, this ruggedized aperture provides a unified solution for high-power signal denial and electronic protection. Featuring vertically stacked brass radiating elements and a high-strength fiberglass radome, the JC3-2530 delivers persistent 360-degree situational awareness in an ultra-lightweight, 200-gram form factor.

Design: Ultra-Compact S-Band Dominance

The JC3-2530 is optimized for mission-critical electronic attack hubs where size, weight, and power (SWaP) are paramount. At just 190 mm (7.5 inches) in length, it is designed to be mounted directly into vehicle roof-top holes or integrated onto man-portable jammer equipment. Its collinear architecture utilizes vertically stacked, in-phase brass elements to project a consistent omnidirectional pattern. The wide 76-degree vertical beamwidth is a decisive tactical advantage, ensuring that jamming energy remains coupled with the target even when the operator is running or the vehicle is traversing steep, uneven terrain.

Construction: Tactical Hardening & Man-Pack Agility

Built for the rigors of front-line combat, the antenna is fully enclosed in a Cylindrical Fiberglass Radome. This housing provides excellent RF transparency while offering the mechanical robustness needed to withstand physical impacts and environmental stress. The internal radiating core is composed of high-quality brass elements, ensuring a quiet signal path and high electrical efficiency. With an overall weight of only 200 grams, the JC3-2530 minimizes the physical burden on dismounted soldiers while providing the same structural durability found in much larger vehicular arrays.

Performance: Unified Spectrum Control

By covering the 2.5 GHz to 3.0 GHz tactical window, the JC3-2530 serves as a high-fidelity hub for electromagnetic operations. It utilizes a specialized co-axial stub and spark gap technique to maintain a smooth VSWR (2:1) and constant gain across the entire band without requiring field tuning. With a 250W power handling capacity, this compact antenna provides the necessary throughput for high-intensity wide-area signal denial, Counter-UAS (C-UAS) missions, and the disruption of modern high-frequency data triggers.

Key Technical Characteristics

  • SWaP-Optimized Build: Ultra-lightweight 200g weight and compact 190mm length for maximum man-portable agility.
  • High Power Capacity: Rated for 250 Watts of continuous-duty RF transmission.
  • Zero Field Tuning: Factory-assembled and tuned for immediate "plug-and-play" deployment.
  • Rugged Radome: Fiberglass enclosure (44mm O.D.) ensures survivability in winds up to 220 Km/Hr.
  • Versatile Mounting: Supports roof-top hole installation, man-pack integration, or optional pole mounting.
  • Vertical Polarization: Optimized for ground-to-ground tactical jamming and aero-band signal denial.

Global Compliances & MIL-STD Hardening

The JC3-2530 is designed to operate reliably in the world's most hostile environmental theaters:

  • Extreme Thermal Tolerance: Operational from -30°C to +70°C.
  • High Humidity Resilience: 0 to 95% RH rating for tropical and maritime deployments.
  • Corrosion Resistant: High-class aluminum alloy and fiberglass construction resist salt spray and corrosive gases.

Key Applications

  • Electronic Warfare (EW): High-power jamming for RCIED defeat in the S-band.
  • Man-Portable Security: Essential for EOD teams and dismounted patrols requiring personal electronic protection.
  • Counter-UAS (C-UAS): Denial of 2.4 GHz control and telemetry links for commercial and tactical drones.
  • Tactical Mobile: Low-profile vehicular mounting for urban convoys and covert operations.

 

Design Features :The JC3-2530 Jammer Collinear Antenna is rugged all weather model, enclosed in a Fiber Glass enclosure, uses high class aluminum alloy and does not require any field tuning or adjustments. This fiber glass jammer collinear antenna is specially designed to mount on the roof-top hole of the vehicle or can be supplied to mount the antenna directly on the jammer equipment's. The JC3-2530 antenna is highly suitable for man-pack and vehicle mounting applications. Similarly the antenna can also be supplied with pole mounting hardware (optional).

Constructions: The special co-axial stub and spark gap techniques are used for smooth VSWR and constant Gain over entire the 2500 - 3000 MHz frequency band. The JC3-2530 jammer collinear antenna consists of large diameter brass radiating elements stacked vertically, fed in phase and enclosed in fiber glass housing. The Fiber Glass has excellent transparency for Radio Signal and mechanically Robust to support extra mechanical strength to the collinear antenna. The antenna can be supplied with olive green colour for defense application.
