Linking sensors, AI, and weapons promises faster targeting, while requiring a large volume of communications. Constant transmissions could make the force easier for an adversary to detect. The comparison is with the German Navy's communications during the First World War. The concern is that the sheer amount of traffic required by the integrated force could reveal what it is doing over long distances.

A networked force creates an emissions-control problem
The plan's sensor, AI, and weapon links promise speed while creating radio emissions that an adversary can detect and exploit.
