That is the name Xorg uses for the display manager. Which also has been forked to XLibre or X11Libre.
I just installed ARTIX-linux & BSD and so far it has done a better job than Wayland. [I know, perhaps I am kicking a holy house here, but 17 years of development and getting a subpar display manager does not cut it, and clearly: this move to fork was a good move, as many problems within the x-11 legacy code, are now resolved. Clearly, a setup to promote Wayland ...where Wayland is clumsey, gittery, lagging, XLibre rocks!)
Anyway, that aside, thinking about the nature of war projected from current feasible tech:.
Unmanned areal vehicles. unmanned land vehicles, unmanned sea born vehicles and submersibles. So, projecting this further out, what meaning is left, if there was any meaning meaning at all?
Do we really want the CoL to have such tech? Is it preferable? What is there is a simple off switch, as those run on expensive silicone hardware?
I wouldn't buy any mechanical equipment made in the UK... including this warship.
The thing will be a maintenance nightmare, with zero spare parts available. No two bolts will ever be the same size, like someone rummaged through a junk bin and used what they found (speaking from experience), and the designers won't have thought through the most basic things... so it will have problems with the air filtration, oil circulation or other vital systems that the UK engineers totally ignored while trying to rush the design.
Buying a UK made machine is a lot like buying a French made computer. You CAN... but you'd be better off not to.
The old warship designers and builders that made British warships for decades were superceded by Babcock Engineering who knew nothing at all about building fighting ships at all. Its not for nothing that the ships today are named "Babcock's Ballsups"
I am dismayed they call is X11.

Both sides in a conflict can leverage such technology. Quite the force multiplier. It reminds me of this clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO1HC8pHZw0
Perhaps, we reach the point where disputes can be solved by a game of chess? A lot cheaper ...

X11 = Whirled War 12
X = 10 + 1 + 1 = 12
