James Winnefeld just said about the Pentagon’s defense strategy that was unveiled unvieled this morning.

Yup, the software-based JTRS AN/PRC-154 Rifleman Radio and the Android-based GD300 smartphone-style device are about to make their combat debut, according to our own Matt Cox. Here’s a teaser from his story that we’ll running [...]]]></description>

That’s about how long it would take L3 Communications to prep and demonstrate extending Future Combat Systems capabilities to the Army’s Cold War generation systems.

		<description><![CDATA[Back in September, Newsday sparked a furious debate when it reported that Hezbollah had hacked into Israel’s best-protected radios. At stake was more than that security of Israeli communications; American radios, which rely on similar technologies and designs, would also be at risk if the terror group was now able to listen in. Now, Aviation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The military would like to use blimps as eyes — and cell towers — in the sky. But, for the plan to really work, the antennas attached to those airships have to be light, flexible, and fit perfectly on the blimp’s hull. And so far, building those antennas has been hard to do. A crew [...]]]></description>

Using technology most likely supplied by Iran, special Hezbollah teams monitored the constantly changing radio frequencies of Israeli troops on [...]]]></description>

Sound moves through seawater in very strange ways, with water temperature, salinity, and density speeding up and slowing things down — garbling conversations in the process. Electromagnetic transmissions (like radio) are no better — the sea has some funky electrical conductivity. During the Cold War, sub authority Joe [...]]]></description>
