More: I mean that the weapon is on a chin pivot-turret, and there’s a camera, an operator, and so on. The platform is intricately stabilized, and the CEP supposedly is just 1/3 of the results gotten from a stabilized human shooter aiming from the same distance.

I’d suspect that because of Sat. delay paired with the need for high accuracy that the controller would have to give final trigger release over to the platform at the last instant in order to bring about a positive hit.

And that there is a battery of lawyers sitting right there, in the room, prolly...

If it has software that’ll lock on target (infrared, shape, etc.) chances are good that you get the bad guy.
