The problem is trying to achieve all of this at the same time, they haven't tried to take the approach to achieve one or two things and then work long time to add all the other features as they are ready.
It's always an all or nothing approach.

the bar for success is so high.
The amount of R&D required is huge.
Just the secure communication encryption will be a nightmare.

Uh dude, that's been invented 3000 times over. Military radios are standard tech from Thales, Harris and General Dynamics. Any new equipment on a soldier that needs a secure data link actually just plugs into the existing radios.
You are making an assumption they want the headset to do everything, they absolutely don't and the details on those plans have been fairly public.

It's just an iteration of the Nett Warrior project and it reuses most of it.

There is a difference between being able to decrypt communication, and being able to disrupt communication.

Again, you are speaking out of your ass.
Military radios already exist to deal with secure encryption and resisting jamming. These are in fact standard issue soldiers and integrate with a whole family of equipment in plug and play fashion. And they continue to create newer and newer generations of radio that become standard issue pretty quickly because RF engineering itself is pretty mature and much of it is just silicon design catching up and allowing better processing capabilities.
