B-52 out of Edwards Tests Datalink System

As military (and frankly, civilian) operations become more network-centric, tools like the Conect system will add depth to the grid.  More and more, every airplane is just a link in an information collection and management network, sharing whatever data is available with others on the grid.  Like your review of this blog, anyone anywhere can know whatever they want almost instantly.  If anyone knows where the target is, then everyone knows, so there is no direction to look for an incoming attack.
