Noise jammers[1] were unmanned airships used by the Federal Erusea Air Force during the Second Usean Continental War. They were designed to jam radar systems by emitting excessive noise. Their design simplicity and small development cost led them to be deployed in mass numbers to maximize their effectiveness.
In May 2005, dozens of noise jammers were deployed in the Gnome Ravine by Erusea to stop an Independent States Allied Forces spy plane, Leopard, from returning to ISAF territory with reconnaissance imagery of Megalith. Many of the airships were destroyed by Mobius 1, allowing Leopard to safely navigate the thick fog covering the ravine.[2]
