Don't you just love people who believe the hype.
So Jess, what you were actually saying was that the SHAR would have had positive ID capability assuming every airborne platform it operated with also had JTIDS operability. A fairly large assumption in itself.
But lets delve a little further, what about Net architecture, could the current system cope with that number of PPLI's (Know what one of those is Jess?)
Would the Net be robust enough not to drop any players?
Or what about the geographic accuracy of the Net, what if you had a Radar lock on a tgt that appeared to be 60 miles from the nearest PPLI and you had time to count all of them and new they were all tracking? Well it's guaranteed safe to fire isn't Jess?
Or is it? I, as can Deliverance and a fair number of the only UK FJ fleet to have used JTIDS in an operational theatre, can guarantee it wouldn't.
So before you rail on again about another capability the SHAR would have had. Don't.
Yours bored on the Auth desk.
