I thought this one was a winner when it came out too. It used the X band radar which is Doppler. The Sgt York used the Doppler system too.

The ADATS was supposed to attack ground and air targets and couldn't do either to the military satisfaction. I remember the FOG-M and Hyper Velocity missile were in development at the same time but never made it. Wolfhag |
