Not on the net so that eliminates the most typical remote attack
No local ports so drop all the USB drives down the silo you want, there's no place to plug them in.
I'm going with the guess that launch electronics down in a silo qualify for not just air gapped but might even qualify for ground gapped.
So the one routine vector is that 8" drive. I'm pretty confidant that your typical script kiddie doesn't have access to 8" floppies. Even state actors aren't likely to have those.
And sure, I guess you could you could figure out what to code on those and maybe there's somebody down there dumb enough, hey, a strange floppy, let's put this in the system.
Secure digital system. How many of those are there? The Blu-Ray encryption, financial institutions, credit card databases, Credit score databases
