That being said I'd love to see active defense be practical. Ai is very nearly there. Stuff like cwis has come a long way. It would be a game changer in terms of design, especially since hypersonics are far too expensive to take them out individually. Probably a pipe dream and I would not bet on it. Plus being able to avoid radar, lidar, or even visual recognition will always be both faster and cheaper than upgrading the defense. But it would be so cool.
