The Undersea Cable Problem Is Actually a Compute and Sensing Problem
Protecting undersea cables isn't just a military priority, it's a distributed compute and sensing challenge that defense tech is only beginning to solve.

Drone swarms look like a robotics challenge. The real bottleneck is distributed computing at the edge, and nobody has solved it cleanly yet.
R. KesslerMilitary tactical data links are getting a software-defined overhaul. Here's why Link 16's successor era will be defined by mesh protocols, not hardware upgrades.
R. KesslerSoftware-defined satellite buses are decoupling mission payload from platform hardware, and the defense implications are bigger than most people realize.
R. KesslerHeat dissipation, not compute power, is becoming the binding constraint on AI-enabled defense systems. Here's why thermal management is the unglamorous problem nobody wants to fund.
R. KesslerPhotonic interconnects are moving from lab curiosity to battlefield-ready infrastructure, and the implications for defense data systems are enormous.
