Kirk here giving the rain a break (I hope it gives us a break) and posting in the “stuff I didn’t know or had forgotten” category. Today’s bit of unknown or forgotten information pertains to the caption written for the photo you see with this article:
“A masked GSDF member stands by NEWS electronic warfare vehicles at Camp Kengun in the city of Kumamoto. (Mainichi/Yoshitake Matsuura)”
NEWS stands for “network electronic warfare systems.” The systems are designed to “jam “enemy radio waves in an integrated manner” and “establish information superiority over potential adversaries.”” Sure hope these systems never need to used! 😕
