Kinda like what happened in Panama where the US military had to notify the Panamanians about exercizes and they used that as a wake up at 4am for the longest time.
The active jamming was done using Prowlers and Spark-Vaark`s. A waste of resources on an empty mission. You can also give your game away very quickly, but I doubt the Iraqi`s had the analytical tools to unravel the Prowlers electronics.

The drones were used as "noise makers", to make the Iraqis think the coalition were attacking from one direction whilst they attacked form a different bearing.
