Networking national defence system a good idea?

I saw a documentary recently where US is networking their entire defense systems. Do you think networking them and relying more on computers a good idea.





I can understand that computers are precise in targeting but they can be easily hacked or malfunctioned. I guess one electromagnetic bomb can shut down our entire defense system.


I just want to know why is US spending billions of dollars on these projects, do they have any back ups?

These defense systems are built for the expectation. EMP wont effect it at all. The exterior protects it from that.
Reply:In order to hack that system, it would have to be possible to access it outside the system, and the defense department would never allow that. Government systems are expected to conform to what is called the 5 9's of accuracy, it must be 99.999% reliable in testing before it is deployed, leaving a maximum unexpected downtime of about 3 minutes per year. I'm sure such a network would be distributed, meaning an EMP would only affect the network within its blast radius, the rest of the network would compensate for the downtime.
