     You're an idiot.  There are several pieces of the hardware in place.   
   There are several that are already in the field, and there are several   
   that are on track for their trials.   
      
     I think the big problem here is that you just do not know the depth to   
   which such a system must be developed.   
      
     You have no clue what the term "mission critical" refers to, and you   
   have no clue how long equipment takes to get through an approval process,   
   much less the bog down that the government causes whenever a change needs   
   to be made.
