There are more problems with this than I have time to mention....
How many battlefields are covered by complete cell networks for
starters....
In time of battle the GPS will be disabled....
This system could easily be confused by chaff, and or drones....
An for a big conclusion they're forgetting completely about active
ECM, an EA6-B Prowler can waste any cell network/electrical grid it
encounters, as probably can Mike Lorrey's ole EF-111's.
