Have you noticed the silence from those who actually know?

That's because they can "neither confirm nor deny".

Those of us who value our clearances know to keep our mouths shut.

I wrote a scenario for a novel in which Israel did something similar to the control chips for an Iranian missile. Instead of the missile hitting the secret command bunker of the Israeli Defense Forces, it stove in the Al-Aqba Mosque.

Unless the integrated system is running in a fully automated mode, it will never work. The TO still has to physically press the FIRE NOW button.

Even if the enemy knew about there is nothing they could possibly do to stop it besides pulling their equipment off the battlefield.

"EC-130 Compass Call, RC-135 Rivet Joint "

I flew on both of these airframes from 94-98.

"I have VietNam era F-4 (Navy Phantom) pilot friend that tells of flying in the same space with an EA-6B (or maybe it was an E-2 Hawkeye?) and they were joking about cababilities.

The 6B jock asked my friend his call sign....and immediately his radar screen went blank as his callsign was spelled out on its face."

Make that an EA 3B.

Stupid thing for the op in the AWACS plane to do, but still funny.

Then again, for how long can you keep a spoof secret?

Generally, after you've buzzed the tower at the enemy airbase and bombed the crap out of the aircraft parking area, he'll figure out that SOMETHING is going on. :)

The idea behind the Senior Suter program is to get him to press--or not press--the FIRE switch according to our will, not his.

And people wonder why Adama wouldn't allow networked computers aboard Galactica. Wireless netcracking is how the Cylons won the war!
