I was just thinking to myself how amazing modern software could be for a cybernetic battlefield.
With drones everywhere one could build up a 3D photogrammetric map of the front. Image recognition and motion extraction could track individual soldiers. Mobile phones and satellite uplink could be used to track the status of every friendly individual.
You could turn the fog of war into a top-down strategy game.
I wonder how forward-thinking this mega contract is…
- shiroiushi 2y agoHow do you deal with jamming? If you're fighting the Taliban, sure, you can use wireless tech all you want to do this kind of stuff. If you're fighting a technological adversary, it isn't so easy.

- jiggawatts 2y agoSame as always: spread-spectrum, data bursts, optical links, beam-steering, encryption, mesh networks, etc...
