Spot Jamming
Spot jamming is a type of electronic warfare where a concentrated, powerful radio signal is aimed at a very specific frequency of an enemy's radar or communication system to disrupt it. It's like shining a very bright, narrow beam of light directly into someone's eyes to temporarily blind them.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Spot jamming is an electronic warfare countermeasure technique involving the emission of a high-power, concentrated electromagnetic signal within a narrow frequency band to overwhelm and disrupt a specific enemy radar, communication link, or sensor operating on that precise frequency, thereby rendering it ineffective. This targeted electronic attack aims for signal saturation to deny information access to the adversary.
BACKGROUND
Radar jamming and deception is a form of electronic countermeasures (ECMs) that intentionally sends out radio frequency signals to interfere with the operation of radar by saturating its receiver with noise or false information. Concepts that blanket the radar with signals so its display cannot be read are normally known as jamming, while systems that produce confusing or contradictory signals are known as deception, but it is also common for all such systems to be referred to as jamming.

USAGE NOTE
Spot jamming is highly effective against specific, known threats but requires precise frequency knowledge and can be circumvented if the target system employs frequency hopping or changes channels.
