I got a private freepmail from someone intimately involved in a new and probably classified battle-intelligence system. He revealed no details, but he let me know that in experience and theory both, such a system is a very strong force multiplier.
And think: The term "The Fog of War" has been coined to describe the very problem these intelligence systems are meant to solve. If there wasn't a problem in combat, with real-time intelligence, the term wouldn't have been coined to express the frustration all combat leaders have faced.
"force multiplier" - more buzzwordese from REMF central. But, the whizbang stuff can help. I'm only half serious about REMF central.
From my experience and from discussions w/ other service members though the extra technology's pitfalls is that it causes micromanagement by TOC. It's not the fault of the technology but poor leadership.
