Well, now that the War on Iraq has begun,
and all the high tech weapons are in action,
here's a related question:

	What is the microprocessor of choice
	for smart missiles and bombs?


When I interviewed with Motorola several years ago,
they were designing CPU boards with 680x0s for 
the tips of missiles and anti-tank weapons.
The boards had to be capable of sustaining a 60g force.

Anybody know the latest?
