I'll buy that. As long as it has a fair chance of the system failing.
By that I mean not firing when it should. Otherwise I would think it
would be VERY expensive. If not expensive then I must ask way you don't
put this type of sensor tech on every main gun and weapon systme you
have!
Also, if they can design heat tracking or doppler radar then any good
tech officer would be able to equip his men with an equiv. counter
measures (heat sheilds, etc.)
I am of the opinion that it is generally much easier to counter this
type of thing than it is for the sensor to spot them in the first place.
Not to mention much cheaper.
