Pentagon Quietly Builds Tech Disruption Office TSO

The silence around TSO is itself the story: a unit chartered for covert disruption of foreign tech programs is being stood up with almost no public footprint, which signals a deliberate choice to keep its mandate and targets out of any oversight or market-facing discussion. That opacity matters most for defense-tech contractors and foreign firms whose programs could fall in its scope, since they would have little visibility into what triggers attention. The open question is whether any public accounting of TSO's authorities, budget or targets emerges, or whether the office remains effectively invisible outside classified channels.
