Maybe they’re new and improved.
Probably not much of a defense against low-flying cruise missiles launced from subs and warships close by.
Per the specs, it’s not much good against low flying anything, or high flyers, either. Apparently, it can’t see or track anything below 500’, and it can’t hit anything much above 32,000’.

And damned little use against B-2's and F-22's working at night.
Too bad they retired the F-117, just when they could probably use a few more spooky airplanes capable of dragging 500-pound JDAM's to the demolition site.
