Just my opinion, based on nothing else - other than the leadership love a good sim….
Not overly onerous qualifying it nor supporting it, especially if DIO and SO2 Ranges (or whatever they’re called these days) leaned in, even more so if appropriate ballistic tables and data were available.
Better getter the USMC to agree a policy change to the JCAS MOA.
