They argued that the radar is an important asset to track incoming cruise missiles.

One of the proponents, retired Brig. Gen. Kenneth Todorov said the platform wasn’t ideal but he “love the capability that [JLENS] brings.”
“The platform is not great, but let’s not focus on the platform. Let’s focus on the capabilities that are brought by the platform.”
