"To date, this technology has saved four pilots' lives in training and combat. This means their families didn't lose a husband, father, son or brother,"

Having worked on F-18's, I think it's strange this technology hadn't been put into place sooner. After all, there are loads of other avionics out there that take care of flying the plane automatically. Terrain Following RADAR (TFR) is a good example.
