 I only know the very basics of EW, but LoRa is certainly harder to jam than any other civilian RF technology. Spread spectrum AND forward error correction! 
 What do they use in military? I read that Russia has been doing a lot of experimenting in signals because of drones so really have no clue what is feasible today 
 Its been more than a decade since I got out, and I was only really trained in how to recognise hostile EW and take countermeasures. Mostly just switch frequencies. I know the good stuff is all spread-spectrum chirps picked up by satellite, but unless you're in DSD they don't tell you much more than how to use it.

Basically the military uses LoRa-but-better, and with a bird in the loop for unlimited range. How much better is anyone's guess.

I've heard Russia way outstrips us in EW technology, but IDK any details.
