It's a critical part of the Army's plan to hit future enemies from all possible angles at once, a concept called Multi-Domain Battle.

A simple WiFi jammer isn't too heavy, and I've seen plans for cellphone jammers online before. The trick is to make it so that the other guy can't talk while you still can. |
