...their powerful guns could shoot beyond the range of their high-tech targeting systems.
I really hate stories like that sometimes. I want a quick idea of what his trying to do. I have to scroll through pages of backstory and find the details buried here and there between layers of backstory all through a long article.
I was wondering if this would causes issues by broadcasting the location of troops, or allow enemies to spoof it for their own forces.
A lifetime ago I was an 11A, an infantry officer. The last thing I would have wanted on my troops was a transmitting device. Any signal can be intercepted, and tracked. That's all kinds of bad.
That was my first thought - even with encryption, etc on the actual signal, it's still a radio signal, so anyone with some DF equipment can triangulate a location.
