Astonishingly hard to find out exactly what this system is. I read several defense articles and they go out of their way to use arms manufacturer jargon and never say what the system is or what it does. Just mumbo jumbo about getting lots of things into the hands of “warfighters” (gotta love that disassociative term) quickly.
It's a program, not a product. Like 'loyal wingman' or 'joint strike fighter'. It's a nipple full of money where BAE, Raytheon and Lockheed Martin will suckle at for a decade or so before a product or set of products is chosen.
Ah, thanks. So just another rebranded money suck, as you said.
Ted Faro is making excited noises.
Just skip a couple of steps, and nuke the whole world. We are overdue for a hard reset. Maybe the next civilisation won't fuck up so badly.
May the raccoons treat the world better than we have.
