Agreeing with the people advocating range tank.
A smart bomb will hit orbiting drones but not probably not quickly enough to pop them before they pop you and it reams your cap.
One thing I keep meaning to stick on mine is a remote repper or two (since your DPS is fairly pitiful anyway) for between fights.
With decent skills and your set-up you're looking at probably ~8 ish jam strength with the best named multis vs. ~11 ish from Racials. That's 20-22 cumulative from two racials vs. 14-16 from two multispecs. Depending on what kind of ships you're jamming it might work or it might not. The other issue is that they have a much shorter optimal range so at 100km you're in falloff.
To get full range out of it you might want to look at a sensor booster too to push the lock range up past 100.
Why mention cumulative jam strength? Does it matter, at all, in any way whatsoever?

As a rough guide to how likely you are to jam a ship?
I mean I could express it as percentages or just say "With two multispecs you're a fair bit less likely to jam a Battleship or whatever else that has a high sensor strength whereas with two racials it's more likely" but trying to quantify it a bit might help him decide between the two.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the maths 
Well, cumulative jam strength doesn't really give any meaningful info.
Let's say they have SS 15, and you have jammer strength 7 and use 2 jammers.
"cumulative" strength is 14, so it might give him the impression that he has 14/15 = 93% chance.
In reality the chance per jammer is 46%, so the chance of being not jammed is 54%, so the chance of both missing is .54*.54 = 29%, which, while good, is quite different from 93%.
Just some thoughts.
