Certainly much more multi-skilled than the old standard issue US FA18 computers, you know - push, pull, left, right, shoot, now its got a redundancy capacity, with a capital R, to wit-

"armed intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance mission" -

in triplicate!!!!!!!!!! - not to be confused wih gunnery, shooting or - letting a few orff -!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously there is a huge market out there for this software, apart from - intelligence, ECM, HEMS, tank busting, traffic reporting, surf patrol, perving, pilot transfer, etc.- there is the d***head mode.

This only needs a $2 seat pressure-sensor from your local ride on mower shop coupled to an on-off switch and- hey presto - those machines that take off by themselves, without any other mode switched on, will land automatically at say 1 second later.

It will need one essential parameter, low kit weight, as most d***heads fly R22's.
