My kid Robbie is to computers what Tiger Woods is to a set of golf clubs. The Army needs him and kids like him.
“But what does it do? Was this written to intentionally obfuscate that?”
The goal is still to keep us under mushrooms and feed us
Based on this psychobabble, it must be getting close to budget preparation time...

Is that from the top down or the other way:}
“I get the technical stuff regarding RF and EW, ...What I try to avoid is the Army/DoD/Program Manager-ese...tends to be very expensive when vendors pitch technical products...” [mikey_hates_everything, post 18]
RF and communications systems are only about 10 percent of the problem. An artificiality, harking back to the days when each subsystem and operational area was served by its own designers & engineers. Causes latter generations to see it as a bunch of separate problems, instead of facets of an overall problem. Your reference to “RF” in isolation is a perfect sign: specialists resist the reality that it’s all the same stuff, from DC through AM, HF, FM, UHF, microwave, on up through EHF, SHF, IR, visible light, UV, X-rays, gamma rays, cosmic rays. The only differences are the frequencies.
I spent the better part of 30 years in uniform, trying to improve the language in official documents. It isn’t a problem that admits of simple, sweeping, final solutions. Not when contracts have to be written that can be legally enforced, while requirements documents have to be written in language agreeable to Congress and users both.
Fellow citizens love to blame Congress, the bureaucracy, contractors, attorneys: anyone but ourselves. Americans have big trouble with the notion that national defense is costly and un-speedy. Despite all the evidence of the past 160 years and more, they still want it in a hurry and on the cheap. It’s impossible to meet all those constraints.
