Latest geopolitical tension increased the attacks on satellite communication on the ground. Additionally, new techniques are being developed to confuse the military surveillance satellites.
I thought about floating carbon nanotube (CNT) balls that could jam the radar and radio signals. It is a more modern version of the second world war aluminum foil radar jammers used by the allied forces. CNTs are good radar and radio frequency absorbers (Carbon-based radar absorbing materials: A critical review, Pristine Carbon Nanotubes are Efficient Absorbers at Radio Frequencies)
The idea is to manufacture very thin CNT hemispheres. They would be joined in vacuum to form a floating balloon. No need to weld or glue them. External air pressure would keep them together like the Magdeburg hemispheres used in 1654 experiment. Unlike the copper hemispheres used in the experiment, very strong and light weight CNTs can form a floating sphere. These CNT balloons would then be released from an airplane to create long lasting air camouflage against the electromagnetic frequencies.
