The thing is, a well designed electronic system
isn't secure through obscure details, rather it
is secure through good design. Further, what
makes the stryker's systems useful is that they
allow a force commander to know where his assets
are and are not in the real time. This allows a
faster response and regardless of the enemy's
knowledge of the his capabilities, his ability to
react and understand the big picture will still
give him the force multiplier that he's looking
for.
