As near as I can penetrate the buzz words, he’s talking about moving away from expensive “do everything” platforms like the F35, to fighting with a bunch of cheaper single function platforms that get tied together.
For example, have an F35 pilot control a drone which goes ahead and spots targets, and have other drones which carry extra ordinance.
The weakness of this approach, is all these guys have to communicate in order to be coordinated, which turns their communication into a vulnerability.
Such an approach makes EMCON impossible. The adversary would just home in on the emissions, much like some missiles have a mode called “home on jam” as a counter to ECM.
