Try this one on:
#1

The (PEO USC) announced that the (RCIED) (JCREW) (I1B1) program has achieved full operational capability ahead of schedule.
Maybe this makes some sense:
#2

The second one makes sense to me. That scares me a little. Maybe I’ve been doing this stuff too long.

We have a rule where I work: if you use an acronym, you must be able to explain what it stands for if challenged.
It's my rule. And I challenge people all the time.

The item is from the Navy site. #2 is the way the Navy explained it in the first paragraph of the article which gives the reader some hope. When the Navy wrote the heading of the article it used an abridged version that wasn't as bad as #1. I thought the writer of the article did a decent job of explaining as well as he/she could.
PEO is the only acronym that I recognized.

It’s difficult for anyone to understand #2. What this is jamming enemy radio signals used to remotely detonate explosives

I don't know but I searched for Unmanned and Small Combatants and found this. Check the Executive Director.
