 Then you go and see  a battle or partake in a battle at NTC (BTW I have
 been to both places fighting with good guys and bad guys), and now you
 see two equally advanced forces. Sure you've got all these same assets
 but so do they, and both sides are doing everything they can to keep
 data from each other. And everyone is still pretty much in the dark
 about where they are and what they're doing. (despite some of the
 scripted nature of individual battles.)
 
 I don't know what specific countermeasures there will be in 2180s
 (though we could probably figure some out fairly easy), though I know
 active and passive counter measures as well as operational techniques
 will continue to figure prominently in denying the enemy the knowledge
 he needs. It's a basic tenant of war. ALl this will keep war in the
 realm of uncertainty and chaos.

you 
have no idea what is going on around you what do you do? You pop the
hatch, 
stick your head out and look for yourself.
