I read that our nukes use fluidic circuits in their navigation and flight
control to make them immune from EMP and radiation from defensive and other
offensive nukes. But you could hardly implement a star tracker with a
fluidic circuit, so I guess the 'buss' is responsible for that?

BTW one really kewl projectile I've read about it a plasma spheromak. A
megajoule plasma bubble is fired at 100's of Km/s from a rail gun and
releases about half its energy in ionizing x-rays at the target. Now if the
plasma were fissionable like Uranium, and it were fired with a bit more
energy, something really kewl might happen when it hits! Probably great in
space, but dissapointing in the atomosphere where it rains, et.
