I'm all for it if it truley is effective as claimed. How ever.
I wonder if anyone has considered the fact that with such a system operative in the green zone. No low flying choppers could cover our guys SASO in the city of Baghdad, if they quickly where in need of air power. Unless of course they turn of the radar system or disable the laser from being able to automatically track and fire. So after a couple days, of lobing mortars and rockets into the green zone, the goons then would go after our patrols in various parts of the city, now soon as the radar/laser system is turned off to allow help from the air, whamooo, the goons could lob in lots of rockets and mortars at specified sites within the green zone, just as they have done all along. Always seems to be a catch twenty two. Nighty night all. Eyes are bleary.
Friendly air assets have IFF transponders, don't have the profile of a projectile in flight. That shouldn't be a problem.
