In a crowded or Network deprived environment this Data Convergence stuff looks like it's own worst enemy. Got to do a lot of crawling before they can run. Lesson learned " A Picture is worth a Thousand Data Points", ability to read text, coherent Symbology, being able to communicate with a translator to our Allies, That conclusion is good for us who can "do" Streaming Video and Text...

During Project Convergence, military services found that passing large amounts of data from disparate systems led to inefficiencies. Bottlenecks from excess data that wasn’t critical to the mission caused compromises in picture quality and jammed networks with limited bandwidth. Military leaders questioned if these emerging technologies would clog the network and slow it down rather than accelerate mission success. Travis Thompson, deputy director for the Soldier Lethality-CFT, posed an important question regarding the high bandwidth that augmented reality video often demands: “Was that more valuable than just a picture? A picture in many cases did the exact same thing, it could go through at a higher resolution, inform the decision better.”
