An anti-ballistic missile system. Some Australian warships are already 
capable of local missile defence, using a US system. The data from the 
radars on Australian and allied warships can be combined, and the 
missiles on all the ships coordinated.

When switched to "Automatic", the computers decide how many missiles to 
launch, when.
