Reminds me of the UK outlawing how to kill lobsters. Only a humane way is legal now and this 1 dude happened to create a device that does it. He sells to make sure restaurants are preparing lobsters legally.
Feels like a shakedown with extra steps.

What is this in reference to?
Just a noncredible proposal for why ships aren't survivable anymore in a shooting war with a near-peer power, and a noncredible solution.
The title is in reference to the old "The missile knows where it is because the missile knows where it isn't" copypasta.
why ships aren’t survivable anymore
I thought that was the entire basis of Aegis and the Phalanx?
CIWS are only partly effective. A 'better than nothing' sort of deal, but ASMs generally retain the advantage.
CIWS are only partly effective.
It's been that way since WW2 with AA only partly effective against air. Not having perfect AA didn't stop Navies on all sides from being used.
The issue isn't "Navies are going out of business", it's "In any shooting war, all of these extremely expensive pieces of equipment are suddenly much less survivable than they were planned to be with the rise of highly maneuverable supersonic missiles as anti-ship weapons"
Oh yeah, hypersonic missles!
