The Army will buy hundreds of portable electronic warfare attack and scanner systems, the service said Monday—a type of tool used frequently by both Ukraine and Russia.

The service will spend nearly $100 million to equip, train, and field the system, dubbed the Terrestrial Layer System–Brigade Combat Team Manpack, according to an Army press statement released Monday. The Manpack is designed by Mastodon Design, a subsidiary of defense contractor CACI.

The system is “on track to be the first dismounted electromagnetic attack/electromagnetic support program of record for the Army,” said a spokesperson for the Army’s program executive office for electronic warfare and cyber.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I hope they are light...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
