Sustaining SOF and 50ton armored vehicles are galaxies apart in terms of challenges...

Its the acronym for what I say when I hear about another bespoke solution come out of DLCSPM when I am able to Google 3 viable COTS options that work better.

Then take it to PM. If you post on open boards people are allowed to respond to you whether you like it or not. This trolly adversarial attitude is wearing thin. - Milnet.ca Staff

Unless you're CELE, why are you coming up with enterprise data lake and networking solutions? I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night but doesn't make me qualified to pick submarines for RCN. Beat of luck with TS Cloud. DIM SECUR is scared of NATO RESTRICTED cloud services.

Something we can look into but it likely wouldn't be something automated which makes it difficult for us to moderate. I hate it as well. I would suggest if you find particular users constantly using AI with no independent thought you put them on ignore or don't reply to their post. The...

Well if you're too lax on security you let the enemy see all the traffic you're sending. Its a delicate balance that unfortunately has been tipped too far into the favour of those who are allergic to risk.

Our security folks are scared of the internet and cell phones. Ukraine is running their entire war against a high level cyber actor using AES256 encryption and homebrew apps. That would never be allowed in Canada.

Ultimately, yeah it'll take money. Lots of money. Each A Veh in CA needs about $350K USD worth of radios and a communications suite (replacement of ELAN). Multiply that by a thousand or vehicles, add in installation costs and project management fees and we're pretty dang close to $1B CAD. Now...

The US has bearers that can provide 1080p from helmet cams in a cave in Syria to the situation room. They can fight from the US because they have hundreds of billions in dedicated global bandwidth. We have systems that would barely be considered high speed internet but want the same AI data...

And that data is going to sit at Tunneys or move around the NCR without ever seeing an operation. I really don't think you have any clue about the scope and scale of the problem to move that amount of data outside of permanent infrastructure.

Because they don't understand how complex the bearers, servers and networks are to make something like MSS work. We dont have a trillion dollars of space and terrestrial based links to move data around the battlefield to end up in T59s Leopard 2.

Great software. Thats only a small piece of the equation. How do you move, secure and store all that data? Laymen focus on the shiny end user tool. Signalers focus on the network that runs it, which is exponentially more expensive and complex. Unfortunately our institution is hyper focused on...

Best we can do is let DLCSPM give contracts to GDMS to produce 1990s technology in the 2030s.

298 Lynx KF41s from Rheinmetall are about $5.5B CAD. I think you either grossly underestimate the cost of aircraft or exponentially overestimate the cost of land vehicles. We could fully kit out CA with vehicles and weapons for the same cost as just the F35 purchase.

What do you call something with tons of shiny new toys and no pilots or maintainers to operate them? RCAF.
