Title :
Jamming commercial satellite communications during wartime an empirical study

Abstract :
Satellite communications parameters - carrier to noise ratio, bandwidth, power, and frequency - were recorded for approximately 500 satellite communication carriers continuously, over a period of 16 months. These carriers support communications for military operations in the current Iraq war. Communications outages during this period were logged and the reason for outage was determined. Some outages caused by electromagnetic interference are shown to have characteristics that would be expected if these carriers were being subjected to a hostile denial of service attack
