I said Naval Combat Systems, which includes missile systems. I did not mention avionics. Besides being an arrogant ass, you’re also lying.
Dear fatman,
In my convoluted Viet vet assbackwards mind, “Combat ‘Systems’, whether they are being employed by, ‘a squid’, a ‘GIreen’, a ‘grunt’, or ‘a propellerhead’ like myself, in 2017-thumbtyping-times, the ONLY ‘system’ that is NOT ‘digitally-infected’, is the 1970 issue Colt M16, or the Smith and Wesson Model 15, that I was issued.
If it was onboard a ship, as the General Dynamics PHALANX ‘system’ was, or fired from a ship as the Standard RIM missile was, or loosed from an aircraft as the Sparrow III or AGM-88 was, there were electronics involved. If it were to be that ‘wondergun’ slung under an F-4 or an F-106, there was an optical sight system, slaved to the aircraft’s radar system. If it were that “electronics suite” installed on E-2c Hawkeyes, that is avionics, as is the command links between them and the carrier, or the fighter interdiction aircraft, or the hand-off to either E-8 JSTARS, or the E-3 AWACs.
Even in this 2017-year-of-the-thumbtyping, it is still the hand of the human, whether deomonstrated quirkiness of the millenials, or President Trump.
