Sure. But jamming doesn't need to be long-term to be effective - indeed,

vehicle-mounted barrage jammers aren't particularly long-term :-/ Even 
short C3 disruptions (a few hours or so) can be quite disastrous if they

prevent you from reacting fast enough to an enemy attack.

Do you seriously believe that Australia is the only country which has
this 
type of artillery-delivered jamming capability? If so, think again.
There 
are several other countries who have it too... including some which I
could 
see the US fight in our lifetime, and some which would sell this
technology 
to countries the US appearently plan to fight in near-time.
