The Buraq 1.0 is a vehicular RF jamming system built by Buraq RF Solutions. It protects a convoy and a command vehicle with a moving dome of about 75 m radius. A moving vehicle meets radio-controlled threats, and electronic protection acts on the link before the effect occurs. Nine subsystems form the chain, from signal generator and RF power amplifier to monopole antennas and the Buraq AI Core. RF cable assemblies, integrated circuits, thermal systems, a chassis and the Command GUI complete it. The Buraq AI Core applies selective denial: it blocks hostile links, keeps friendly links open and decides in under 1 microsecond. The specifications state a 150 W amplifier output and the dome radius. The system runs from the standard vehicle supply. In field conditions it carries an IP55 rating, operates from -10 to +55 °C and is qualified to MIL-STD. Integration covers three interfaces: mounting, power input and control. The operator controls and monitors the system through the Command GUI, with alarms and logs. Buraq supports the system through six lifecycle services. The Buraq-Air 1.0 serves dismounted patrols, while the Buraq 1.0 serves vehicles. Verified government, military, law enforcement and authorised enterprise buyers order in five steps. A quotation depends on four factors: configuration, quantity, support and training. Buraq answers a briefing request within 24 hours.
What is the Buraq 1.0?
The Buraq 1.0 is a vehicular RF jamming system built by Buraq RF Solutions. It mounts on a vehicle, takes power from the vehicle supply and protects that vehicle with a moving dome of radio denial. The system denies hostile radio links near the vehicle while the crew keeps its own links open. Buraq is the product family, and 1.0 is the model designation of the vehicular system.
What is a vehicular RF jamming system?
A vehicular RF jamming system is an electronic protection system that mounts on a vehicle and denies hostile radio links around it. It has a signal source, a power amplifier, antennas, a decision core and an operator interface. The system draws power from the vehicle and moves with it.
A vehicular system differs from a fixed jammer, which covers one site, and from a man-portable jammer, which a person carries. Mobility sets the design requirements. The system needs a vehicle supply input, tolerance of shock and heat, and protection that travels with the platform.
Who builds the Buraq 1.0?
Buraq RF Solutions Private Limited builds the Buraq 1.0 at its headquarters in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Buraq designs, integrates and qualifies all nine subsystems of the system, from the signal generator to the Command GUI. The Buraq manufacturing record covers the build, test and traceability of each unit.
Buraq is a first-party manufacturer. The buyer deals with the maker directly for supply, spares, training and updates. That single line of responsibility matters for a system that a crew relies on in the field.
Where does the Buraq 1.0 sit in the Buraq range?
The Buraq range has two system classes today. The Buraq 1.0 is the vehicular system. The Buraq-Air 1.0 is a man-portable anti-drone jammer gun. Both run on one decision core, the Buraq AI Core. A sweep-based jammer raises noise across a wide span of spectrum. A decision core chooses which links to deny and leaves the rest alone. The Buraq roadmap names further systems in Alpha, Beta and Ninja stages.
What does the Buraq 1.0 protect?
The Buraq 1.0 protects vehicles in motion against hostile radio links. A moving vehicle has no fixed installation to rely on, so the protection travels with it. Two deployments define the system: the convoy and the command vehicle.
| Deployment | Protected asset | Role of the Buraq 1.0 |
|---|---|---|
| Convoy | Each vehicle in a moving column | The system rides on each protected vehicle, so the dome covers that vehicle wherever it sits in the column |
| Command vehicle | The vehicle that carries the radios of an operation | The system protects the vehicle while its own radios stay open |
How does the Buraq 1.0 protect a convoy?
In a convoy the Buraq 1.0 rides on each protected vehicle. Each vehicle carries its own dome, so the column keeps its protection as the order of vehicles changes. A convoy stretches over distance and reshapes itself on the road, and a dome fixed to the vehicle follows every change.
Each vehicle carries its own system, so protection needs no lead vehicle, fixed point or planned route.
How does the Buraq 1.0 protect a command vehicle?
A command vehicle carries the radios that run an operation. A jammer on that vehicle faces a conflict: it denies hostile links, yet the crew needs its own links. Selective denial resolves the conflict. The Buraq AI Core blocks hostile links and keeps friendly links open, so the command vehicle stays connected to its network.
The operator watches the state of the system on the Command GUI. Alarms and logs record what the system does, which gives the command team a clear account of the protection it has.
What is the protective dome?
The protective dome is the volume around the vehicle in which the Buraq 1.0 denies hostile radio links. The dome has a radius of about 75 m. It is centred on the vehicle and moves with it.
The radius is the rated value Buraq publishes for the system. As with any jammer, the effective radius against a link depends on that link’s strength, the terrain and the mounting position. The briefing settles those factors for the vehicles and tasks of each buyer.
Why do vehicles need RF protection?
A vehicle on the move meets radio threats that a fixed site avoids. It crosses terrain it does not control and follows routes that others observe. It also carries crews and radios that others want to disrupt. Radio links are the common thread. A hostile party that lacks physical access to the vehicle still reaches it through radio.
Radio-controlled threats take several forms. A remote trigger is a radio link that commands a device at the moment a vehicle passes. A hostile command link steers a device that watches or follows the vehicle. A hostile listening link carries the position and movement of the vehicle to the party behind it. Denying the link cuts the threat off from its controller.
Protection against these threats is electronic. Armour stops physical effects after they occur. An RF jamming system acts on the link before the effect occurs. Both layers matter, and neither replaces the other. Electronic warfare divides this field into attack, support and protection, and the Buraq 1.0 serves the protection role.
Mobility compounds the problem. A fixed site is surveyed once, while a vehicle meets a new radio environment at every kilometre. The protection therefore travels with the vehicle. That is why the dome moves with the platform and why the system runs from the vehicle supply.
How does the Buraq 1.0 work?
The Buraq 1.0 works as a chain of nine subsystems under one decision core. Buraq designs, integrates and qualifies each subsystem. The chain runs in this order:
- The signal generator creates the interfering signal.
- The RF power amplifier raises the signal to output power.
- The monopole antennas radiate the signal around the vehicle.
- The Buraq AI Core board runs the decision core that selects the denial action.
- The RF cable assemblies carry the signal between modules.
- The integrated circuits provide control, drive and protection.
- The thermal systems remove heat so output holds across the duty cycle.
- The rugged chassis protects the electronics against shock, dust and water.
- The Command GUI gives the operator control, alarms and logs.
What does the signal generator do?
The signal generator creates the interfering signal. It is the source of every waveform the system radiates. The decision core commands the generator, so the output follows the denial action the core selects.
The generator sits at the start of the chain, and every later stage works on its output. A clean source lets the amplifier and antennas deliver the intended signal with little waste.
What does the RF power amplifier do?
The RF power amplifier raises the signal to output power. It delivers 150 W of output power and holds that output instead of peaking.
Amplifier output is one of the main factors in the dome radius. Its heat output also drives the thermal design of the whole system. Output power and efficiency pull against each other: the more power a stage delivers, the more heat it sheds. The design balances both across the duty cycle. A steady output matters more than a high peak, since a vehicle runs the system for long periods.
What do the monopole antennas do?
The monopole antennas radiate the signal around the vehicle. A monopole is a single vertical element that uses the vehicle body as its ground plane. It radiates equally in all horizontal directions, which gives the all-round dome the system needs.
The Buraq 1.0 uses vehicular whip antennas. A whip is slim and light, so it mounts on a bracket without adding much weight or wind load to the vehicle. The mounting position matters, because the vehicle body shapes the radiation pattern.
What does the Buraq AI Core board do?
The Buraq AI Core board runs the decision core that selects the denial action. It holds the decision logic of the system. The logic chooses which links to deny and which to leave open, and the board issues the command down the chain.
The board decides in under 1 microsecond. Every other subsystem exists to carry out the action that this board selects. No conventional noise jammer has a counterpart to this board. The board turns a classification into an action in a single step. It is the one subsystem that decides, and the others execute.
What do the RF cable assemblies do?
The RF cable assemblies carry the signal between modules. Cable loss, shielding and connector quality set how much of the amplifier output reaches the antenna. A damaged or poorly shielded cable wastes power and leaks signal into other equipment on the vehicle.
Short, well-routed cable runs help. Every connector adds a small loss. Every metre of cable adds more. The layout on the vehicle therefore affects the power that arrives at the antenna. Buraq specifies the assemblies for the system, so each cable matches the modules it joins. The same care keeps the system from interfering with the radios the crew needs.
What do the integrated circuits do?
The integrated circuits provide control, drive and protection. Control circuits manage the modules and report their state. Drive circuits condition the signal between stages. Protection circuits guard the amplifier and the other modules against overheating, overload and abnormal conditions.
Protection circuits act faster than an operator, which keeps a fault in one module from damaging the rest of the chain. Protection acts without waiting for a command. Together these circuits tie the decision core to the generator and the amplifier. They bind the protection functions into one controlled whole.
What do the thermal systems do?
The thermal systems remove heat so output holds across the duty cycle. Duty cycle is the share of time a transmitter runs at full output, and heat limits it. A 150 W amplifier converts part of its input power into heat, and the heat leaves the module through the thermal path.
Heat sinks and cooling carry the heat to the air. Heat from the sun, the engine bay and the vehicle itself adds to the load. The thermal design allows for the rated range of -10 to +55 °C. Good thermal design lets the system run for a long period on a moving vehicle without a cut in output.
What does the rugged chassis do?
The rugged chassis protects the electronics against shock, dust and water. It carries the IP55 rating of the system and holds the modules in place on a vehicle that vibrates and jolts. The chassis also supports the thermal path and the shielding of the electronics.
A sealed enclosure limits the effect of rain, mud and washdown on connectors and boards. Gaskets and sealed joints maintain that protection through the life of the system. A vehicle subjects equipment to more shock and vibration than a fixed site does. The chassis absorbs that load so the modules keep their connections and alignment.
What does the Command GUI do?
The Command GUI gives the operator control, alarms and logs. The operator starts and stops the system, watches its state and reads its alarms. The logs keep an audit record of what the system does and when.
The console serves the whole chain from one screen. Operators of different experience levels use the same console. A clear layout reduces the chance of an error during a long convoy movement. The interface keeps the operator informed without demanding attention, which matters in a vehicle where the crew has other tasks.
How does selective denial work?
Selective denial blocks hostile links and keeps friendly links open. It is the central function of the Buraq 1.0, and every other subsystem serves it. Three approaches show the difference. Barrage jamming raises interference across a wide span of spectrum and hits friendly links along with hostile ones. Spot jamming concentrates on one frequency and misses every link outside it.
Selective denial acts on the links that the decision core classifies as hostile and leaves friendly links alone. A command vehicle needs this, because its crew keeps its own radios in use while the system protects the vehicle.
How fast is the decision of the Buraq AI Core?
The decision time of the Buraq AI Core is under 1 microsecond. A microsecond is one millionth of a second. Decision time sets how fast the system moves from classifying a link to acting on it.
At under one microsecond, the delay of the core is small next to the duration of the links it faces. The decision core, not the amplifier, sets the pace of the response.
What are the Buraq 1.0 specifications?
The table lists the published Buraq 1.0 specifications. Buraq shares further electrical, frequency and interface data with verified buyers in the briefing. The third column says what each value means for the vehicle.
| Attribute | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Platform | Vehicular | The system mounts on a vehicle and runs from its supply |
| Protection dome radius | About 75 m | The rated radius of denial around the vehicle |
| RF power amplifier output | 150 W | The output power of the amplifier stage |
| Antennas | Monopole vehicular antennas | The radiating elements around the vehicle |
| Decision time | Under 1 microsecond | The time from classifying a link to acting on it |
| Supply | Standard vehicle supply | The system runs from the supply the vehicle already has |
| Ingress protection | IP55 | Dust protected and protected against water jets |
| Operating temperature | -10 to +55 °C | The ambient range in which the system operates |
| Qualification | Field tested and qualified to MIL-STD before delivery | Acceptance trials and environmental checks before delivery |
| Subsystems | Nine | A chain of modules that Buraq designs, integrates and qualifies |
How do dome radius and amplifier output relate?
The dome radius and the amplifier output are linked but not identical. The 150 W amplifier supplies the power. The antennas shape where that power goes. The link under attack decides how much power is enough. The rated radius of about 75 m is the value Buraq publishes for the system.
What does the frequency coverage mean?
The Buraq 1.0 covers the radio links that matter to the task of the vehicle. Buraq sets the frequency coverage for each buyer’s configuration. The Buraq AI Core decides which links inside that coverage to deny and which to leave open. Buraq shares the exact bands with verified buyers in the briefing.
What does MIL-STD qualification mean?
MIL-STD qualification means Buraq tests every system against military environmental standards before delivery. The tests show how the system behaves under shock, vibration, heat, cold, dust and water.
How is the Buraq 1.0 powered?
The Buraq 1.0 runs from the standard vehicle supply. The input accepts the normal low and high excursions of a vehicle supply. Engine starts pull the voltage down. Charging and load changes push it up. A system with a narrow window faces drop-outs at exactly those moments.
What does the power converter do?
A rugged power conversion stage sits between the vehicle supply and the system. It regulates the vehicle supply to the steady voltage that the chain needs, whether the vehicle voltage is high or low. The chain therefore sees the same supply on a cold start and in a long convoy run.
High conversion efficiency matters because every lost watt turns into heat that the thermal system then removes.
How does the Buraq 1.0 hold up in field conditions?
The Buraq 1.0 is built for a vehicle, so it meets conditions that a laboratory instrument never sees. Dust, spray, heat, cold, shock and vibration act on it every day. Four design measures answer those conditions: the sealed chassis, the thermal system, the shielded RF path and the qualification before delivery.
What does the IP55 rating mean?
IP55 is an ingress protection code. The first digit, 5, means the enclosure is protected against dust to the level that no harmful deposit reaches the electronics. The second digit, 5, means the enclosure is protected against water jets from any direction.
For a vehicle, IP55 covers the common exposures: road dust, rain, mud spray and washdown. It does not describe immersion, which a different rating covers.
What temperature range does the Buraq 1.0 operate in?
The Buraq 1.0 operates from -10 to +55 °C ambient. The upper end drives the thermal design, since an amplifier sheds heat into air that is already hot. A vehicle parked in the sun adds to the load before the system starts. The thermal systems keep the amplifier output steady across the whole range.
How does the system keep running over long periods?
Duty cycle is the share of time a transmitter runs at full output. A vehicle protection system runs for long periods, so the Buraq 1.0 holds its 150 W output steady instead of peaking. Heat sinks and cooling carry the heat away, and protection circuits guard the amplifier if the heat load grows.
How does the system avoid interfering with the crew radios?
A jammer shares a vehicle with radios, sensors and vehicle electronics. Shielded RF cabling and a protected power stage keep the system from disturbing that equipment. The Buraq AI Core adds a second layer, because it keeps friendly links open by design. Electromagnetic compatibility is the discipline that governs this coexistence on a platform.
What does field test and qualification add?
Field test and qualification is one of the six support services. It covers acceptance trials and environmental checks before delivery. Buraq runs it on every system, so each unit leaves with a test record behind it.
How is the Buraq 1.0 integrated into a vehicle?
Buraq 1.0 vehicle integration uses three interfaces: mounting, power input and control. Each interface has one job, and each ties the system to one part of the vehicle.
| Interface | What it connects | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Mounting | The antennas and the rugged chassis to the vehicle body | IP55 chassis, vehicular whip antennas |
| Power input | The vehicle supply to the system | Standard vehicle supply |
| Control | The operator and the vehicle monitoring system to the system | Command GUI and a monitoring interface |
How is the Buraq 1.0 mounted?
Mounting fixes the antennas and the chassis to the vehicle. The chassis holds the electronics inside the vehicle or on its body, and the whip antennas stand on brackets on the outside. The vehicle body acts as the ground plane of each monopole, so the body shapes the radiation pattern.
A good mounting plan places each antenna where the body gives a clean ground plane. It also keeps the cable run to the chassis short. Different vehicle classes change the mounting plan, not the chain. Buraq reviews the vehicles and tasks of the buyer in the briefing before it prices the configuration.
How does the power input connect?
Power input connects the system to the vehicle supply. The connection is a high-current feed from the vehicle supply to the power conversion stage. The stage regulates the supply for the chain. Cable size matters on this feed, because the input current peaks when the vehicle voltage is lowest.
How does control connect?
Control connects the operator and the vehicle monitoring system to the Buraq 1.0. The Command GUI serves the operator. A monitoring interface serves the monitoring system. The two paths give the crew local control and give the vehicle a view of system status.
How does the operator control and monitor the Buraq 1.0?
The operator controls the Buraq 1.0 through the Command GUI, and the vehicle monitors it through a monitoring interface. The Command GUI gives control, alarms and logs on one screen. The monitoring interface reports system status to equipment outside the console.
What does the Command GUI show?
The Command GUI shows the state of the chain and the controls that act on it. Three functions stand out for a vehicle crew:
- An emergency stop halts the output at once.
- Thermal limits show how close the amplifier is to its duty-cycle limit.
- An audit log records each action of the system with its time.
These functions follow the same logic as the rest of the design. The crew needs to stop the system instantly, to see heat before it limits output and to review what the system did.
How does the vehicle monitor the Buraq 1.0?
The Buraq 1.0 reports its status over a standard monitoring interface that suits vehicle cabling. A vehicle monitoring system reads the status of the jammer without a custom interface. The crew sees the same status that the Command GUI shows.
What do alarms and logs add?
Alarms tell the operator that something needs attention now. Logs tell the operator, and later the command team, what happened and when. The log also records each denial action that the Buraq AI Core selects. Together alarms and logs turn the system from a black box into an instrument with a record. That record supports training, maintenance and the review of an operation.
How is the Buraq 1.0 supported?
Buraq supports the Buraq 1.0 for its full life through six services.
| Service | Scope |
|---|---|
| System maintenance | Preventive and corrective service of the whole system and every subsystem |
| Repair and swap | Turnaround of a failed subsystem and exchange units to keep the system in service |
| Traced spares | Serialised parts held by part number, for supply continuity |
| Operator training | Curriculum, drills and assessment for the crews who run the system |
| Field test and qualification | Acceptance trials and environmental checks before delivery |
| Firmware and GUI updates | Release control with rollback |
What does system maintenance cover?
System maintenance covers the whole system and every subsystem. Preventive service finds wear before it causes a fault. Corrective service repairs a fault after it occurs. Full system maintenance covers the Buraq 1.0 and its accessories together.
What do repair and swap provide?
Repair and swap turn a failed subsystem around and supply exchange units to keep the system in service. A vehicle that waits for a repair is unprotected. An exchange unit shortens that wait, and the failed subsystem returns to service after repair.
What are traced spares?
Traced spares are serialised parts held by part number. Serial numbers link each part to its build and test record. Held spares support supply continuity, so a crew does not wait for a part to be made.
What does operator training teach?
Operator training gives crews a curriculum, drills and assessment. The curriculum teaches the system. The drills practise its use on a vehicle. The assessment confirms that the crew runs the system correctly before it enters service.
What do firmware and GUI updates control?
Firmware and GUI updates follow release control with rollback. Release control means each update carries a version and a record. Rollback means a bad update returns to the previous working version.
How does the Buraq 1.0 compare with the Buraq-Air 1.0?
The Buraq 1.0 and the Buraq-Air 1.0 share one decision core and differ in task. The Buraq 1.0 protects a vehicle. The Buraq-Air 1.0 is a man-portable anti-drone jammer gun that detects and defeats drones.
| Attribute | Buraq 1.0 | Buraq-Air 1.0 |
|---|---|---|
| Class | Vehicular RF jamming system | Man-portable anti-drone jammer gun |
| Carried by | A vehicle | A person |
| Protects | Convoys and command vehicles | Dismounted patrols and sites against drones |
| Target | Hostile radio links around the vehicle | Drone control links |
| Reach | Protective dome of about 75 m radius | Detection at 3 km, defeat at 2 km |
| Decision core | Buraq AI Core | Buraq AI Core |
When does a buyer choose each system?
The task decides the choice. A buyer who protects vehicles and crews on the move chooses the Buraq 1.0. A buyer who protects people on foot against drones chooses the Buraq-Air 1.0, which serves dismounted patrol tasks. A buyer with both tasks orders both, and the shared AI Core gives both systems the same decision logic.
How does a vehicular system differ from fixed and portable systems?
A fixed jammer covers one site and draws power from the site. A portable jammer moves with a person and runs on a battery. A vehicular jammer moves with a vehicle and runs from the vehicle supply. Each class fits one kind of task, and the Buraq 1.0 is the class for vehicles in motion.
Who buys the Buraq 1.0 and how?
Verified government, military, law enforcement and authorised enterprise buyers order the Buraq 1.0 under the Buraq end-use policy. Buraq supplies the system for authorised protection tasks only. A request from an unverified party does not proceed to delivery. Every order follows five steps.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Briefing request | The buyer submits a request, and Buraq answers within 24 hours |
| 2. Briefing | Buraq and the buyer review the buyer’s vehicles and tasks |
| 3. Quotation | Buraq prices the configuration, quantity, support and training |
| 4. End-use check | Buraq verifies the buyer against the policy |
| 5. Delivery | Buraq delivers the system after qualification |
What happens in the briefing?
The briefing is a working session between Buraq and the buyer. Buraq reviews the vehicles that need protection and the tasks they perform. The review fixes the configuration, the mounting plan and the support that the buyer needs. Those findings feed the quotation.
What does the end-use check confirm?
The end-use check verifies the buyer against the Buraq end-use policy. It confirms that the buyer is an authorised party and that the task is an authorised protection task. Buraq delivers only after the check closes and the system passes qualification.
What does a quotation depend on?
A quotation for the Buraq 1.0 depends on four factors: configuration, quantity, support and training.
| Factor | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Configuration | The vehicles to protect and the mounting plan for each |
| Quantity | The number of systems the buyer orders |
| Support | The lifecycle services the buyer selects from the six |
| Training | The crews to train and the curriculum they follow |
The briefing settles each factor before Buraq prices the order.
More questions about the Buraq 1.0
Does the Buraq 1.0 block the crew’s own radios?
No. The Buraq AI Core applies selective denial, which blocks hostile links and keeps friendly links open. The crew keeps its own radios in use while the dome is active.
Does the protective dome stay fixed on the ground?
No. The dome is centred on the vehicle and moves with it. Its radius of about 75 m stays the same as the vehicle changes position.
How many vehicles does one Buraq 1.0 protect?
One Buraq 1.0 protects the vehicle it rides on. A convoy protects each vehicle by fitting a system to each one.
Which vehicles carry the Buraq 1.0?
A vehicle with a standard supply powers the system. The briefing reviews each vehicle and settles the mounting plan before Buraq prices the order.
Does the Buraq 1.0 counter drones?
The antennas of the Buraq 1.0 serve the radio environment of the vehicle. The Buraq-Air 1.0 is the Buraq system for drone control links.
Is the Buraq 1.0 sold to private buyers?
No. Buraq supplies verified government, military, law enforcement and authorised enterprise buyers under its end-use policy.
How fast does Buraq answer a briefing request?
Buraq answers a briefing request within 24 hours.
A convoy multiplies the protection problem, because every vehicle in the column needs its own dome and its own operator view. The same system serves vehicles with different roles and different mounting plans. Convoy protection shows how a column of vehicles carries the Buraq 1.0 on the road.
The decision core separates the Buraq 1.0 from a sweep-based jammer. A jammer that raises noise across a wide span of spectrum treats every link as hostile. The Buraq AI Core explains how a decision core classifies links and selects the denial action.
The Buraq 1.0 serves the protection role in electronic warfare, a field that divides into attack, support and protection. That framing places vehicular jamming next to the other roles of the electromagnetic spectrum. The Buraq-Air 1.0 covers the dismounted counterpart, and the end-use policy states who Buraq supplies.
