Morphology
The compound directly combines 'barrage' (a sustained, saturating attack) with 'jamming' (interfering with signals), so the idea of intense or wide‑range interference is inferable from the parts. This metaphorical use of 'barrage' to mean a saturation attack on frequencies is a common compositional pattern, so a learner who knows both words can typically deduce the meaning.
Etymology
Barrage jamming comes from the image of a military barrage, where many shells are fired together to overwhelm an enemy. In radio use, jamming means sending noise across many frequencies at once, so the phrase means 'jamming many radio frequencies at the same time'.
