So, this device protects a circle 1.2 km across from drones & jams GPS/Glonas. That is the coverage of a platoon position in Ukraine, ~25-to-40 men
How many platoons are there in a battalion?
Usually there are 9 for line infantry, plus another 4-to-9 for US Mech Bn "tail"

There are usual 9-to-10 battalions of tanks, infantry, & reconnaissance in a division.
In addition, there are usually 3-to-4 battalions of artillery with 18-to-24 guns each in 3-to-4 batteries of 4-to-8 guns.
Gun batteries will need a minimum of 2 jammers each while using

..."shot & scoot" tactics to avoid counter battery fire.
Plus all artillery fire direction centers will need at least 2-to-3 active jammers so a mass MLRS *blarf* doesn't simply eliminate the grid square they are in.
Then how many are going to be needed with logistics?

Either there will be a jammer moving with every truck convoy and ammunition resupply point
_OR_ you will have to plant a continuous line of jammers along your main supply routes.
If you have three MSR, 24 km long to stop FPV drones, at one jammer per Kilometer for overlap.

That is 72 jammers as a minimum for truck logistics in a divisional supply area.
9 btn X 14 = 126 Jammers
12 Artillery batteries X 2 = 24 jammers
14 fire direction centers X 3 = 42 jammers

The total number of those jammers to cover a divisional sector is going to be a minimum of 264 jammers.
Who is going to properly site, take care and relocate of all of those jammers to support divisional operations?
How well do they have to be trained to do their jobs?

Basically, these jammers will need a platoon for every tank/infantry/artillery battalion.
Plus a jammer company for every divisional main supply route.
We are talking two highly trained/expensive electronic warfare battalions for every division to counter the FPV threat.

People on X making cracks about 'how expensive jam resistant FPV drones will be' demonstrate their technological, procurement & force structure innumeracy.
They are utterly clueless when it comes to deploying a large, skilled, signals trained jamming force structure.🤦♂️
