The major drawback to the system really comes down to bang for your buck. Israel has spent around $1 billion building five of these systems and providing coverage over\u00a0 the Gaza and Tel Aviv in the North. However, as noted earlier, the Gaza Strip is a small, geographically-contained area, and that means Israel spends almost\u00a0$1 billion containing an area that would fit inside the San Francisco Bay. At the same time, several million people, as well as a large portion of Israel\u2019s industrial base, are located within range of the missile attacks. This makes it much harder to argue about the economics of the system, especially in the face of such a strong success system wide. And that successful, remote-controlled computer defense system with the equally successful offensive drone systems is clearly going to lead to a growing reliance on the use of remote-controlled systems throughout the twenty-first century. Where the path of computer-controlled warfare will lead us is yet to be seen; however, one clear prediction is that for the nations that possess this technology, the battlefield advantage offensively and defensively, is theirs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
If the military conflicts of the last decade have taught us anything, it’s that the computer is one of the most dangerous weapons in the history of warfare. Computers have proven invaluable in offensive and defensive systems, simplified the gathering of real time intelligence, and have granted militaries with the technology that has the ability […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1916,907,31,730],"tags":[3606,3610,2074,3608,1364,1844,3604,3611,3609,3607,3605,3603],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techcitement.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14753"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techcitement.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techcitement.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techcitement.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techcitement.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14753"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/techcitement.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14753\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16397,"href":"https:\/\/techcitement.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14753\/revisions\/16397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techcitement.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14753"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techcitement.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14753"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techcitement.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14753"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
