The Army demonstrated electronic inject jammers at the National Training Center earlier this month.
The demonstration, by the Army Threat Systems Management Office (TMSO), showcased small, direct inject jammers, according to an Army news release.

TMSO electronic engineer Curtis Leslie pointed to an advantage of inject jammers for training. A typical jammer transmitter broadcasting live over public air waves require military, Federal Communications Commission or Federal Aviation Administration agency approvals, which often limit jamming to late night and early morning hours. But recent technological advances have allowed the jammers to become smaller in size and require less power, making them ideal for use on military training centers where getting clearance for very congested environments in the wireless spectrum may be problematic."

The jammer box is installed between the antennae and a radio transceiver. It can be programmed to digitally produce different kinds of jamming signals when cued by a simple line-of-sight signal sent remotely by a controller
