− The biggest drawback to the system is the tremendous wear and tear placed on the unit during its short life. After 60 seconds of use, the system processor is overloaded with data and shuts down.<ref name="TOp298"/> Another drawback to the C3EM is the fact that once it enters "master" mode, it cannot be deactivated. The C3EM will function as usual in a friendly ECM bubble, but a hostile ECM bubble will cause it to go into standby mode.<ref name="TOp298"/> + The biggest drawback to the system is the tremendous wear and tear placed on the unit during its short life.
