It took me so long to parse this headline. Bloomberg's weird capitalisation in headlines constantly trips me up, must be even harder for non-native English speakers.
I can't help but feel like the pentagon/DoD keeps making strategic mistakes with their focus on complex and expensive options. For example, the xbox controller is more successful in submarines and other military applications than costly and more complex custom solutions.
Further more, looking at history and modern warfare as is being demonstrated in Ukraine, things that you can sustainably manufacture at large scale without crippling your economy seem to be ideal. Things like cheap but deadly drones, lighter combat gear/pack,etc.. reliance on technology seems to be a liability at times.
I'm just being an arm-chair critic, but wouldn't it be better to let robots and drones do their own thing, while humans also be prepared to face off the enemy without relying on fancy tech? Imagine having to re-orient yourself in the middle of battle because your goggle crashed or ran out of battery or the enemy managed to hack the goggle and disorient your people.
Show the drones which can do what missles can do. Recently the whole drone academy including foreign instructors have been blown away in Ukraine with two missles.[0]
missiles are expensive, drones are cheap. America's ability to manufacture a ton of tanks and planes won WW2. With opponents like China in play, volume and economic stability matter than concentrated firepower and technological superiority.
As the official count of victims is 58, and your source on substack says 760, if you got more precise and reliably sourced information you should update the Wikipedia page for this:
I imagine such a high volume will be produced in multiple batches over a longer period with parts sourced and assembled through different supply chains. Each link in each supply chain is potentially open to malice akin the recent Hezbollah pager and walkie attacks.
They're going to use MS Teams for combat operations? That's going to be a disaster.
The capitalisation of headlines is making it confusing, it's supposed to mean "teams up with" and not "MS Teams" the product.

Everyone knows a passive-aggressive "thumbs up" is a good psychological warfare technique. /s
But the title just has bad capitalization as a sibling commenter noted.

Ok in the meantime I looked at your source website, it's full of vaccine scaremongering and assorted trolling.

sometimes words like "Teams" should be written like a verb... small first character.
I agree. From the heading alone, I thought: "Cannot recommend that piece of ... on your army goggles. This can only end in disaster."
But actually "teams" with small letter might also end in a disaster.
These guys are big fan of LoTR! Andúril is the sword of Aragorn, the Flame of the West

And the sauron.com domain is still available for a weapon-tech startup.
Has to be an object name. Like glamdring.
> The Army may order as many as 121,000 of the devices contingent on a series of tests.
Wow! That will be a seriously large supply chain to protect...
why would the order volume make the supply chain more difficult to protect?
I imagine such a high volume will be produced in multiple batches over a longer period with parts sourced and assembled through different supply chains. Each link in each supply chain is potentially open to malice akin the recent Hezbollah pager and walkie attacks.
Bloomberg done goofed up with that capital T in Teams. they "teamed up" with Microsoft. has nothing to do with Microsoft Teams.

It will be interesting to see how Lattice will compete against Palantir Gotham.
