It's a risk, but could potentially be an opportunity as well. What if you could identify a compromised system/computer and start feeding it bad information? The new owner would be torn between wanting to use the intel provided and the risk that it was setting him up for ambushes, artillery/CAS kill zones, etc.

Additionally, the time that the information is useful is also in a limited window. BFTs/FBCB2s are still classified as SECRET the last time that I checked, so I won't say what the window is, but we have to do similar to radios and get periodic updates to the security encryption/data in the system to remain networked.

If you go outside of that window, then one of two things happens based solely on your particular system: either all of the data freezes in place and no one seems to be doing anything, or everyone other than you disappears and it essentially becomes a visual locator for your DAGR/PLGR.

I've said it once before but I'm going to say it again - We definitely need a glossary for this site, not all of us know current US military jargon and that detracts from the message significantly sometimes.
