Caldari are long range fighters, they rely on information gathering in order to assist their weapon systems. The better informed a caldari is the harder it is to kill them. Jammers are part of their defenses so they can escape and obtain long distance and begin sniping again. While no race has sensor booster affinity the caldari ships typically have the longest lock ranges and best lock times.
Gallente are short range fighters and use the active sensor dampeners as part of their defense suite to get in range of their deadly weapons (and at meter per meter gallente are uncontested in damage at point blank and will literally **** ships in half)Once in range the dampeners are useless the gig is up but that time its too late for most targets, they're under the guns, they're too fast and they're installing new spaceports in your ship. Inversely is the ship stays out of range and let the drones deal with the targets. Using dampeners once again to prevent locking onto the small minute targets.
Gallente and Caldari are direct counters for each other.
You have to think about the warfare the races have and how they deal with each other, the design aspect of this has heavily suggested there has been military evolution involved in the arms race.

Okay then I am having a hard time understanding what exactly the Gallente actually focus on then. They focus on dampeners but not cloaks, they have an active scanner but scanning is really Caldari, and they are counter-intel warfare but in EVE the Caldari get jammers. Other than dampeners what else do the Gallente do that is counter-intel?
Stealthed engine signatures, originally did design the stealth plates but did not publish the modules for wide distribution, Lightweight armor systems (Shields are electronically noisy as hell). Shaped hulls increasing resiliency without overburdening engines or shipmass, Micro-Jump drives, Tripwire defense system (lore), naturally one of the lower signature radius races. Black Eagles organization (lore)

Okay so how will those ideas translate into Dust? Shields don't affect your signature radius like in EVE with active scanners trying to and trying to profile damp isn't very effective unless you are a scout.
Dunno I damp my caldari assault up he dodges quite a few of the scans.
Sensor Dampening is not a form of jamming but a form known as obsurfication, or noise generation or confusion.

As for continue talk on the military evolution.
How do you deal with a race of people with good jamming?
Don't let them know you're there to be jammed in the first place.

In FPS terms
If other traditional tools existed in Dust 514
Caldari would likely have the flashbang
The Gallente would likely have the decoy.
Caldari would likely have an active tac net scambler
Gallente would likely have a deployable stealth bubble. I see, thank you. Is there any movement in CCP right now for more equipment/grenades or are there other more pressing concerns?
There is a far more 'massively' pressing concern at the moment yes unfortunately, there are plans for more things but those things are going to take time once again. For now we can expect adjustments on things for the time being once we start getting information and going back and forth on counter play after content drops.
