Arthur dined here often, and he could settle up tomorrow, but still, facing Will and explaining he had no money on his person was embarrassing.…

computer can ascertain a positive combat identification of ground targets—assuming that the data being gathered is geo-registered. Once the computer can determine a positive identification—either a manned or unmanned aircraft—can engage a target.
