It was a question about whether the ADS system can detect the missiles
from behind smoke.
It was a question of differing systems. The ability of missile targeting
technology which is stopped
by smoke against the ADS's tracking system which doesn't appear to be.

If this was the case then the ADS vehicle could sit behind vehicle smoke
dischargers every round.
This would help it reduced the increased signature penalty with the
increased range band, stop all 
enemy GMS and HEL fire against it and still allow it to protect vehicles
against missiles due to the 
fact that it doesn't require an activation to do so.

Seems a bit powerful to me at this point.
