Correct. But now I’m left wondering what a CEP is? Military stuff is by far the worst at broad assumption of obscure acronym knowledge, which is shocking considering how wide spread obscure terminology and acronyms are in technology. There seems to be a weird cult around acronyms with the implication that only really serious people who know their stuff know all the acronyms and the knowledge creates some sort of weird authority hierarchy where one doesn’t exist. Regardless, I don’t know whether the decisions made are rational or not, and I tend to believe that when a major war breaks out decision making will very quickly align to outcomes, but in the present slow burn it’s more about money making. But at the moment it’s hard to take seriously a platform that hasn’t been manufactured in decades, has only a few flying, and is being retooled because the equipment onboard is “unmaintainable” now (article doesn’t specify why, but presumably parts are not made any more and expertise is rare). It may be the best thing since sliced bread in some capacity, but it doesn’t seem like it shifts many needles in the present. All this said, I was raised Quaker and am a Buddhist, so I’m not impressed with the bangs happening either way. There are better things for us to do than kill each other and we (all humans) invest too much energy in romanticizing these acronyms that belie our worst natures and when fully known spell our collective doom.
