I don't see humans in Electronic Ground-To-Air defense much longer: Extremely boring task, extreme quick reaction against a cheap, very small and quiet-ish three-dimensionally moving target required...

I assume not -- and I'd go further, say that the same is true of point defense in general, electronic or not -- but until we have an automated turret or turreted vehicle designed, manufactured at scale, and deployed, not a lot of alternatives.

Definitely, the main advantage is this would be a very easy task to teach a human to do, very difficult for a computer.
