Aurora SterlingI think that is probably it. But, it would be interesting to see what the new software is capable of.

Alvin SchaefferI'm curious how it can reduce the risk of collateral damage. While I can see that improved laser-guided tech may be able to target rapidly moving objects, how it distinguishes between 'friendlies' and 'enemies' seems to overpromise. Maybe they mean that operators can rely on more surgical striking capability, and thus avoid destruction in a radius beyond the intended target.
