    As far as I can tell, the only thing he is aware of is whatever will
    keep his name dominating the headlines.

    board electricity to support electronics, sensors, targeting and AI-
    enabled computing at lighter weights without needing to add APUs.rCY

    So, instead of 10 gallons per mile, the M1A3 will get 8 gallons per

    I am surprised that no one else thinks that this may be the first of the BOLOs.

    The US Navy has an AI unmanned submarine (it torpedoed an Iranian
    submarine the other day in the Persian Gulf), I suspect that the US Army
    will have AI unmanned tanks soon. BOLOs !

    Because it's an American tradition common to both parties.

    Look to the PBS BBC and News Hour where they may discuss the Ukrainian
    advances on the unmaned tanks which Zelensky mention in the recent
    destruction of
    Russian positions with no troops on the ground except to occupy the
    conquered
    positions.
