The analysis also noted that they have such a small brain it might as well be nonexistent for the purposes of thinking and higher-level functions... which is again rather curious, since the attack force in the Deculture Edition was shown jamming the first wave of Ghosts. Was that a preprogrammed response (in which case, why did they only jam the Ghosts, while telemetry from the VF-171s remained unaffected?), or was there a C4ISTAR craft lurking around somewhere?
maybe it's instinctive? the situation was for a quick and stealthy attack, thus they sent of jamming signals.

its a biological weapon, right?

Proto-culture biotechnology was very advanced, it won't be impossible to imagine that these "warriors" have a set of pre-defined responses encoded in it's DNA, so that when it meets a certain situation, the most appropriate response will be activated.
