[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1614604, member: 18945"] It's easy to have happen nowadays. Wasn't too hard 30 years ago too when our US Navy USS Vincennes shot down Iran Air Flight 655 off the coast of iran. In those days tho, a human had to actually press buttons to fire the missile. The commanding officer of the Vincennes went on to be commanding officer of the United States Navy Tactical Training Group at Naval Base Point Loma, a group responsible for training officers in handling combat situations. Nowadays, some antiaircraft systems are almost 100% autonomous in search, detection, tracking and target ID and once on active search and auto fire, the operator doesn't have to actually fire the missile..he has to take action to PREVENT the firing of the missile. It was a Russian designed 9K331 Tor [SA-15 GAUNTLET land-based, SA-N-9 naval version] The USN Phalanx and CIWS is the same way. Passive or active search mode, and then auto fire mode. It tracks multiple targets, engages the closest one, then when it's fire control software 'computes' a hit, the system automatically switches over to the next target and engages it. (Phalanx shoots depleted uranium or tungsten rounds) The 2 that were on the last USN ship I was on were a sight (and sound) to behold in action and the current versions are probably exponentially better. . the similar SeaRim uses missiles. https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/systems/mk-15.htm [/QUOTE]
