Remember a bit ago-- just about a year now, wow-- when that US Patriot missile launched at a Royal Air Force plane in Iraq, killing Kevin Main and David Williams, the crew? Maybe you do. Well, the BBC is reporting that it was due to a technical failure, a computer bug, in the system.
That's right. The missile computer failed to identify the craft as friendly so it shot it down. But the most startling part is the one I'm about to quote you which explains why such a thing could happen, bug or no bug:
"It painted a picture of inexperienced US troops, heavily reliant on technology to make decisions, but lacking crucial equipment which could have helped them identify the Tornado as a friendly aircraft."
It's evident then that there's a problem here. As in many parts of life, even the military is becoming dependent on this sort of technology. It's a pity.
A deadly pity.
