Buying Tools for Fighting Teams. A Story with a Happy Ending: Part I
Abstract
Once upon a time, in a land so much like our own nobody could tell them apart, a Small Elite Amphibious Fighting Team realized they had a problem. The SEAFT was sent to far places to discuss things with people who didn't like to listen. Although it sometimes led to fights, it wasn't something the team worried about very much--they were trained to accept that sort of situation and were provided with tools to help them, but mostly they had a lot of desire to do well in every situation. This story came about because the SEAFT was using a portable combat radar system to help them find people?--people who were trying to find them first. Although the radar still did the things it had always done, the world was changing quickly all around them, and the team's radar was very old. In fact, the team hadn't upgraded their radar technology since the days of DOS, the Commodore 64, or the Commodores, for that matter. The radar struggled valiantly to perform capably in the mobile, lethal, integrated fashon the SEAFT expected from their wwarfighting tools in the new era of joint enterprise electronic network operations. But it just couldn't keep up.
