to all those I was arguing with about what chinas drone threat, this is the first piece of tech ive seen from an American based firm that gives me some real hope and confidence, especially the device they call "Lattice"
They have gotten a CnC ops room and server all within about 2 or 3 briefcases you can set up in mins instead of hours
Skilled operators at the front could use those to knock out entire enemy defense networks, forget the drones, how are you going to tell them to take off when your electrical grid is down?
Its dark warfare and it will get dirty and mean VERY FAST, I really hope this can be avoided but if it cant be we will need to be in a position to stop another nation or rouge actor from using this same threat against us.
Crops, water, electricity, those are a nations lifeblood and they are ALL networked now, to the last drop of water, bushel of wheat, iota of energy, its all connected to a giant networks and then networks within those networks. Warfare is going to become chasing a digital rabbit and when you catch him your reward is shattering a nations stability by its over reliance on computerization. Its a fate Id very much like to spare any nation from having to experience.
