RF jammers that kill hostile drones also black out friendly squad radios on the same band

Most commercial drones operate on 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz ISM bands, the same frequencies used by military tactical radios and WiFi-based mesh networks, so activating a broadband RF jammer to down an inbound drone simultaneously kills friendly communications within a 500m-2km radius. A squad that loses radio contact during a firefight cannot call for medevac or coordinate flanking maneuvers. This persists because broadband jamming is the cheapest C-UAS response (under $50K per unit), and surgical narrowband jamming that targets only the drone's control link requires real-time signal classification that current fielded systems cannot perform fast enough against frequency-hopping protocols.
