Not according to the article.

"Thomas said the technology works by "basically providing a protective
bubble around a vehicle," jamming incoming signals and blocking the
remote detonation of bombs."

-----------------------

If that's the case then expect the lull to last for only a couple of
months,
until the bad guys get hold of a technology that works.


Whereupon the ECM gear will be modified to suit. The kit being used in
2005 is pretty much obsolete now... the WIS guys don't sit on their
laurels either.


True.

But the countermeasures people have to react. It's not something you can be
proactive about...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
