”Confident that the recent production-level Multirifle logistics chain is meeting specifications, drone weapons protocols have undergone adjustment under the direction of the Triumvirate to favor non-solid firing modes in order to conserve munition stores. In order to improve HUD clarity during field exercises, HUD coloration has been altered to represent “hostile” vs. “friendly” over the former minimal team color paradigm. Manufacturing defects of the recently implemented, contractor-supplied RDF (Remote Detonation Flare) launch casings are being addressed by Tri-Com representatives, and improvements are expected.“
