I had the same thought. I seem to recall that they could also link the entire brigade together into one giant air defense network. I wonder if they'll do something like that for the anti-missile systems, maybe at a platoon level. Or maybe just have the next tank in line automatically kill the attacker.

Indeed, all the "tribarrels" (equivalent to the M2 Browning used in Vietnam (or, rather, back from 1933 to today, it's a keeper)) could be/were slaved to the anti-artillery and air network, and could be automatically taken away from their operators to stop an incoming barrage. They had proximity fuzed Claymore style anti-"buzz bomb" defenses, but arming those was problematical for a zillion reasons, the best defenses were as they are today, sharp eyes and trigger fingers. Later killing a buzz bomb team that killed a super expensive tank and its crew was not considered an acceptable exchange.
