Not a lot of our birds are on INS. We stopped designing those in the
70's or 80's and have used less of the old designs for our systems.
We still have Subs that have to set positions before firing. But not
very many have to do that. Most of the very best
manufacturers(researchers) are long gone. i.e Autonetics INS, Hughs INS
Division, Raytheon etc. I still have a tytac of the best one with all
moving parts. A Nuclear screen in the early days was the tactical answer
to both incoming ICBM's and blocking/destroying satellite targeting. I
understand the planners are thinking the same tactics to stop Drone
Swarms. If and when the SHTF, you will find me in the back yard BBQing a
brisket and imbibing of my favorite drink. I am sure the girls will be
perusing their bibles. I am sure you are aware of the targeting system
in the Minuteman system? We put that bird active in about 1962 and it
has many upgrades since. But it is one of our reliable solid repellent
go-to birds.
You did note that the balloon killers we sent out were heat seekers.
Which means all of those bogies were producing heat in order to be hit.
