One would HOPE that there's not a short in the system
that would confuse the little radars.
It just makes me nervous--but then I actually have
risked my life on the assumption that military
technology would work as designed. It's not a good
feeling.
There are a lot of possible mistakes, ranging from a
shorted-out sensor system, to an incoming missle
that's just coming from about the same angle your
squad is, or whatever.
