Whilst laudable, this view really does not represent the real world. If money was spent on a CWS system then it would be money NOT spent elswhere. This would either reduce operational capability or perhaps have a knock on safety effect in another area that could in turn increase risk levels.
I am now somewhat out of touch but am reasonably confident that a CWS system that was effective and could protect aircraft engaging in Air Combat or LL affil WITHOUT producing unacceptable levels of false warnings was still out of reach, despite some considerable sums being spent on the problem.
