What if the General Motors' DIVAD proposal?  ;)

I used to have one of these. I have no idea where it went.
When I was active duty in the Air Force a group of us from my squadron went to Ft Hunter Ligget, Ca. to control the aircraft for the testing of this beast. I wasn't privilege to all the details but the reaction of the vehicle was under whelming. Actually no reaction at all most of the time. Stories that came out later said the radar would try to track the ends of the gun barrels among other problems.

That project was a case study on how to screw up systems engineering on a Test and Evaluation course I did through work a few years back.  Apparently the radar (based on that of the F-16, used to pick up the barrel muzzles at high elevations, identify them as a legitimate target and send the whole thing into a melt down trying to come up with a targeting solution.  Then again Phalanx fitted to the hanger roof of an FFG literally gets twitchy when helicopter come into land, mistaking rotor tips as fleeting missile contacts.
