> Surely the alert should be sent automatically when the anti-missile system is engaged?

This is a civilian system. Detection and anti-ballistic missile systems are military, specifically NORAD and the MDA. I agree that NORAD should have an API, though I suspect integrating it with civil defense systems will result in more such mistakes in the short run.



If there is no existing integration then how does the civilian system operator know to click this button?
