The thing is jot fully automated. Not intended to be used as such.
PLM existed for quite a while but USN wasnt teaching it to new rag oilots. Because it wasnt redundant enough and they wanted to be sure new aviators still could do it manually.

So without plm they constantly do corrections. Think 300 or so in the final.
With plm . They program heading . Speed of the boat.. and with 10 corrections it will hit the spot . Night and day
They think it will reduce the failure rate of new nuggets at carrier qual to close to zero with plm
Game changer really.

From my understanding the redundancy is now built-in and they started training nuggets on it in 2021
