Gregory's Server@cstross @Cadbury_Moose @graydon unless the jammers become very sophisticated they will be a short lived resource. High power emissions would be a very bright targeting beacon for a drone/missile to home in on with as simple logic as if control is disrupted move to strongest signal and detonate.

If close enough, direction finding: target coordinates direct to counterbattery centre and the jammer (or at least: its antenna system) would be pounded flat in minutes. (Toward the end of WW1 the German artillery were forbidden from firing singly due to the efficiency of allied Sound Ranging - fire would be returned before the German shell had landed. This was with _manual_ systems!)
