This decision is not merely a platform replacement but represents a structural shift in the US military&rsquo;s strategic thinking on battlefield communications and electronic warfare. This article interprets the far-reaching implications of this decision from three perspectives: technological maturity, industry chain impact, and future operational concepts.</p>
