Comment on Odin: «Cloud-based» replacement for troubled F-35s software

Comments

Side note, lately, more often than before, I wonder about the use of language:

Because the ground-based part of ODIN fits within two transportable cases about the size of carry-on luggage – instead of ALIS’s rack of electronics and backup power modules – the Joint Program Office says it can be more-easily moved. ODIN weights 32kg (70lb), compared to 363kg for ALIS.

32 vs. 363 Kg, two suitcases vs. a huge rack and it is needed to cite "Joint Program Office says" to state that "it can be more easily moved" ?
