VXXC has innovation, tells COL “and it doesn’t cost any money, we have enough equipment.”

COL [angry that I wasted his time] “If it doesn’t make any money no General Officer will talk to you.”
COL “Write a book and hope a General reads it.”

I won’t be writing a book.

But yes Pseudo-Chrysostom those are all good ideas. Now monetize them and sell them to a General so he can get an RFC issued to Raytheon…

And BTW General my @ss. It’s the DOD civilians in the Pentagon aka the SES [like Fauci] who decide. Our Generals are really glorified Doormen.

Another area where existing architectures can be extended to other use-cases is high energy radio frequency ISR equipment. Radars used for early warning, for example, tend to be designed to both radiate a great deal of power, and operate at lower frequencies in the decimetric regime, which is on the upper end of the atmospheric radio window – qualities which are also useful for a all-weather energy weapon to fry enemy equipment (like swarms of drones or guided sub-munitions).

The third obvious step is, of course, drones desired for knocking out other drones.

It’s a long list, but not fielded. No money for Austin and the Big Boys.

Mind you the exercises are not encouraging.
Here’s the 25th not doing very well at all against drones, they figured out the best thing they could do was use artillery and air strikes against the ground stations.
