a reliable, compact, onboard sensor suite that provides enough resolution to
find likely targets, and a darned intelligent software package to handle
target discrimination (from background clutter, earlier posited garbage
truck, etc.), and can also recognize an entire range of potential targets
and select the one you would want hit from amongst all of them. Sorry, but I
don't see ANY potential foes we might face in your near term overcoming one,
much less all, of those hurdles, and I am sure I have missed a few more.

There's also the problem of ensuring that your swarm of missiles sent
against a swarm of targets don't all choose the same, or a small set
of targets. Non trivial at best, nightmarish at worst, and one that
the 'high tech' nations have all looked at, and declined to solve,
choosing instead other solutions.
