Why can’t drones be designed to home in on and destroy jammers?

If I understand correctly, a jammer puts out a bunch of RF to overload a drone’s remote link or GPS signal. Why wouldn’t it be trivially easy to just home in on that transmitter and destroy it?

The US military has been doing that for decades.

The Shrike and HARM missiles work on this principal for enemy radars.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they have built drones that operate on a similar principal, or at least have them on the drawing board.

We don’t hear about a lot of this stuff because it would be classified. But if it’s an obvious solution to a battlefield problem… chances are they are already working on it.
