Oops, misread the post first time - dyslexic.

As the GPS receiver is very sensitive and uses only very weak signals a jamming signal does not have to be very powerful. Low powered transmitters could be very small and easy to hide, even from a 2000lb bomb.

Indeed several in an area could cause a GPS jammer-homing bomb to land in a 'safe' area.
